- On Sunday, Attorney General Todd Blanche said there is a "possibility" the Justice Department will appeal 22 cases to the Supreme Court after judges blocked federal efforts to access state voter rolls ahead of November's midterm elections.

- Republican-Led states including Vermont, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Georgia are resisting; Vermont GOP Gov. Phil Scott told "Meet the Press" last month that state leaders are better positioned to manage elections.

- The Senate confirmed Blanche earlier this month after negotiations with Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn over a nearly $2 billion "anti-weaponization" fund addressing concerns about potential Justice Department retaliation.
