At this article, there seems to be movement toward a vote on LB 239, the vehicle for voter ID in the last session.

The bill was held over and will likely be taken up during the first few
weeks of the next regular session, which begins in January 

story at the link.  TOPEKA, Kan. — A special task force created by Secretary of State
Kris Kobach has finished writing 15 pages of regulations detailing how
the new Kansas voter identification laws will be implemented next year
by county poll workers.

Kobach said Tuesday that the work of the 17-member
group outlines how county election officials will require voters to show
valid forms of identification when registering to vote and requesting
ballots during election. The laws were approved by legislators and
signed by Gov. Sam Brownback in the spring.

Kobach, a conservative Republican who is known
nationally for his work on immigration reforms laws, said the
regulations represent the work of “the collective experience” of
elections officers from across Kansas.

Here.  The Texas AG statement on congressional interim maps:

“The court’s proposed Congressional map seems to depart from the
law just as much as its proposed state legislative maps. The court
issued a map without any explanation, but still, it seems apparent that
the proposed map misapplies federal law and continues the court’s trend
of inappropriately venturing into political policymaking rather than
simply applying the law. Perhaps worst, in the name of protecting
Hispanic voting power, the court seems to be discarding already elected
Republican Hispanics in favor of drawing maps that may elect Democratic
Hispanics. That is not and should not be the proper role of the court or
the proper application of the Voting Rights Act. If the final interim
map does not meaningfully change, the Texas Attorney General’s Office is
prepared to immediately appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to correct
this improper overreach by unelected federal judges.

Former Congressman Artur Davis discusses:

The artificial creation of legislative districts with a majority of minorities (majority minority districts) is counterproductive and distorts normal politics, says a former beneficiary of such districts, retired Democratic Rep. Artur Davis.

“Like many generally good ideas in politics, it has been pushed to its limit and now it creates perverse consequences. … It has made race even more important in southern politics, and that’s not a good thing,” he told The Daily Caller during an exclusive interview in Washington, D.C.

Terry Pell at Human Events here.  A portion:

“. . . Guam, a territory of the United States, is subject to the U.S. Constitution and numerous federal laws that prohibit it from treating individuals differently on the basis of race. Unless and until it secedes from the United States, Guam and its officials are bound to observe the Constitution and laws that prohibit treating citizens differently on account of race.

More troubling than the existence of this overtly discriminatory law is the failure of Justice Department officials to take action against it. Despite its clear authority to enforce federal laws prohibiting race discrimination in voting, the Justice Department declined to intervene when presented with a complaint by Guam resident Arnold Davis, the plaintiff in the suit filed this week. Davis, a retired officer in the U.S. Air Force, was told he couldn’t register because he was not descended from a native inhabitant.

The Guam plebiscite bears a strong similarity to Hawaiian laws that formerly limited certain elections to native Hawaiians. The Supreme Court declared such laws unconstitutional in Rice v. Cayetano in 1996. Presumably to get around this problem, Guam claims its plebiscite is not limited by race at all, but only to ”native inhabitants.”
