(CN) — Over two dozen states took on the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA Thursday, filing suit over new election and immigration requirements to receive grants from the federal government. DHS and FEMA violated the Administrative Procedure Act and the spending clause in the U.S. Constitution, the states argued, by imposing new election- and immigration-related requirements to receive billions in anti-terrorism and emergency response funds. The agencies are attempting to leverage the funds to “coerce” states into adopting the Trump administration’s preferred policies, the states said in their suit.

Vote Centers Go Mainstream
A National Look at Adoption

Vote centers are an alternative to assigned polling places, where jurisdictions host fewer voting locations but allow residents to vote at any location. Vote centers have expanded rapidly over the past few years. Our research team has compiled a database of jurisdictions that have adopted vote centers. We have documented at least 625 counties serving over 69 million registered voters (roughly 30% of the nation’s electorate) in 19 states that have implemented vote centers for Election Day voting. While vote centers began roughly 20 years ago, most of the adopters shifted to vote centers after the COVID pandemic in 2020. Our website and database provide critical information for researchers and practitioners, finding that tens of millions of voters cast their ballots in jurisdictions that use Election Day vote centers.
