JUST IN: Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, a Republican, has just announced plans to sign an executive order automatically restoring the right to vote for people with felony convictions, undoing policy that currently restricts more than 60,000 residents and close to 10 percent of the state’s African American population from voting.
Iowa is the sole remaining state that requires felons to apply individually to the governor’s office to have their voting rights restored.

As states imposed coronavirus lockdowns, U.S. citizenship officials suspended most activities, creating a backlog of thousands of citizens-in-waiting who may be unable to complete their naturalizations in time to vote in the November election.
Lawmakers from both parties are urging the Trump administration to conduct the oath remotely to make up for a pause in naturalization ceremonies during the health crisis.

Supreme Court Temporarily Blocks Easier Voting By Mail In Alabama During Coronavirus
The U.S. Supreme Court in an emergency ruling Thursday evening temporarily blocked a lower court's decision that, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, would have made it easier for residents of three Alabama counties to vote by absentee ballot in July 14 primary runoff elections.
The high court split 5-4 in the decision, with Elena Kagan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor — the four justices appointed by Democratic presidents — all in opposition. There was no reasoning provided by the court for the ruling, which is typical for such an emergency decision.
The decision means voters who are 65 and older or disabled in Mobile, Jefferson and Lee counties, where coronavirus infections have soared in recent weeks, will have to provide a copy of a photo ID while applying for a mail-in ballot. And to be counted, all absentee ballots will have to be accompanied by an affidavit signed either by a notary public or two adult witnesses.
Election officials in those counties had been blocked from enforcing those requirements in a June 15 ruling by Judge Abdul Kallon of the U.S. District Court in Birmingham. The Obama appointee agreed with plaintiffs from those counties that the requirements were excessive in the midst of a coronavirus pandemic.
