EDITOR’S NOTE: The following is a synopsis of a recent topic trending in world or national news.

With the Nov. 6 midterm elections over, the court system will continue to look at many different voter suppression cases across the United States, the most notorious one being in the state of Georgia.

The State Secretary originally blocked a large amount of first-time registering African-American voters earlier this year. After losing the court case, the State Secretary had to register all the voters by a court order.

On Nov. 3, there was an accusation that the Democratic party attempted to hack the state’s voter registration database. The accusation was made by the Secretary of the State Brian Kemp. Kemp, the Republican candidate running for office, also said that even if the election came down to a run-off he would not remove himself from the Dec. 4 count.

“It’s wrong to call it an investigation,” Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams told CNN Monday. “It’s a witch hunt that was created by someone who is abusing his power.”

This however is not the first time a Georgia election has been at risk. Back in 2015, a lawsuit accused Kemp of not keeping the election information correctly protected, allowing the information of six million Georgia voters to be stolen.

In North Dakota, many Native American voters have been disenfranchised because of a new law that requires voters to have a street address. The Native Americans in North Dakota live on reservations and use P.O. boxes for mail. As they do not have a street address, they will be unable to vote. Voting in North Dakota did not used to require registering. People could go to polling places with a valid ID or sign an affidavit confirming their eligibility to vote.

That changed in 2017, when the eighth Circuit Appeals Court upheld the decision from the state court, and up to 2,300 citizens were unable to vote. The law in question was led by the Republican party.

In North Carolina, 20 percent of early voting places will be closed. This was recently passed by Republican-controlled legislature. North Carolina cited cost as the reason. Other polling places were to be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

In the state of North Carolina, the closings could impact minority voters more than others, due to the fact that they are less likely to have flexible work hours along with a car to transport them to the polling place of their choice.

President Donald Trump recently tweeted that security will be ramped up to prevent any non-citizens from voting .

“Law Enforcement has been strongly notified to watch closely for any ILLEGAL VOTING which may take place in Tuesday’s Election (or Early Voting). Anyone caught will be subject to the Maximum Criminal Penalties allowed by law. Thank you!” Trump said.

Trump went on to tweet later in the day that there is no voter suppression.

“So funny to see the CNN Fake Suppression Polls and false rhetoric. Watch for real results Tuesday. We are lucky CNN’s ratings are so low. Don’t fall for the Suppression Game. Go out & VOTE,” Trump said.

As of Tuesday night there have been no reports of illegal voting.
