AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoMail-voting fight in the U.S.: North Carolina started sending out mail ballots for the Nov. 3 midterms even as President Trump pushes the Supreme Court to lift a block on USPS rules that would require states to submit eligible-voter lists via a federal portal, with whistleblower warnings that a rushed screening system could disrupt or delay ballots. Campaign spending pressure: Trump says he’ll put $400M–$500M from his MAGA Inc super PAC into the midterms, aiming to calm GOP fears about late spending. Supreme Court ad-rate win: The Court blocked a lower-court ruling and kept discounted TV ad rates available to party committees, a boost for Republican groups. Election integrity ruling in Alabama: The Alabama Supreme Court refused to rehear a case that erased a Democrat sheriff’s two-vote “victory” in Conecuh County, leaving a tie that underscores how tightly election law is being enforced. Local elections and vacancies: Gadsden City Council appointed Jessica Wilson to fill a District 5 seat after her husband’s death, while multiple special school elections are set for Sept. 8 in Iowa’s MVAO and Kingsley-Pierson districts. Global vote developments: BARMM’s first parliamentary elections in the Philippines are set for Sept. 14 after repeated postponements, and Austria’s coalition is moving toward a constitutional ban on “political Islam,” with left partners signaling support.
