Pentagon used emergency measure to change voter forms for Americans abroad
Democrats filed a lawsuit Thursday over the Trump administrations recent use of an emergency measure to make changes to the federal voter-registration form used by U.S. service members abroad and citizens residing outside the country, arguing that its an attempt to disenfranchise eligible American voters. The lawsuit follows concerns by advocates for American citizens overseas, who said the changes will spark confusion among eligible voters abroad and officials within U.S. election offices. The Pentagon has saidthe changes are meant to align the form with federal law. More than 2 million Americans living abroad are eligible to cast their ballots in U.S. elections. Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post. The new version of the form changes ID requirements and eliminates a checkbox that allows a voter to declare, I am a US citizen living outside the country, I have never lived in the United States. That category, sometimes referred to as never resideds, encompasses the adult children of U.S. citizens who have long lived abroad. The Democratic National Committees lawsuit against the Pentagon and the Office of Management and Budget argues that the federal government manufactured an emergency to justify infringing on the voting rights of never resideds. The DNC is asking the court to declare that the agencies acted unlawfully, stop the federal government from distributing the recently altered version of the form and direct the Pentagon to reissue a previous version of the form. Doris Speer, president of the Association of Americans Resident Overseas, said she believes the changes to the form, known as the Federal Post Card Application, are an effort to deter the overseas vote, not to legally stop people from voting but to make the process so difficult that you really have to want to vote to get through it. The result will be confusion, chaos and fewer overseas votes. The changes to the form follow the Trump administrations unsuccessful efforts to restrict voting by mail and pass sweeping voter ID legislation. That proposed legislation, the Save America Act, would require Americans to prove their citizenship when registering to vote and show photo ID to vote, and permit the Department of Homeland Security to obtain access to voter rolls. The political stakes of the upcoming midterm election are high for the GOP. Republicans are in danger of losing their majority in the House of Representatives, and Democrats have vowed to step up their investigations into President Donald Trump if they are in the majority. In August, the Pentagon sought emergency approval to make several changes to the FPCA, used by U.S. voters abroad to register to vote and request an absentee ballot. The Pentagon did not solicit public feedback on the change, as normally would be a part of the process for a document change of this nature. The Pentagon told The Washington Post in a statement that recent updates were made to streamline voter identification instructions and ensure alignment with Federal law but did not detail which federal law. The Pentagon also did not explain what emergency allowed the government to expedite the form changes. In an Aug. 13 letter to OMBs Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs seeking emergency processing to alter the form, Deputy Undersecretary of War for Personnel and Readiness Sean OKeefe wrote that the changes were necessary because the previous version of the document may have confused voters about the information they are required to provide under Federal law and their eligibility to use these forms to register and vote. In justifying the emergency, OKeefe wrote that the next Federal election is fewer than 90 days away, so there is insufficient time to modify the forms via the standard process, adding that public harm is reasonably likely to result if normal clearance procedures and time periods are followed. Elections are typically scheduled years in advance. Tammy Patrick, a longtime elections administrator who serves as the chief program officer at the National Association of Election Officials, and other advocates for U.S. voters overseas say they still dont understand what constituted an emergency in this case. I dont think there is an actual emergency, Patrick said. I have not heard from any election officials about anything related to our infrastructure, neither at the state level nor at any local level, causing any major concern within our hundreds and hundreds of members. A 1986 law established federal protections for military and overseas voters. But states determine voter eligibility rules and residence requirements. Currently, never resideds are eligible to vote in 37 states based on their parents previous residence. Along with changes to the form itself, the General Services Administrations website for the newly altered form also states that it is for absent Uniform Service members, their families, and citizens residing outside the U.S. intending on returning only. Previously, the federal government made no distinction on who was eligible to use the form based on whether an American citizen intended to return to the United States. Susan Dzieduszycka-Suinat, president and CEO of the nonprofit U.S. Vote Foundation, said that changing the form without an effective public comment process sends a terrible message to the people who have always been part of it: election officials, usability experts, and organizations like ours. That process used to give us a form that supported voter participation and made life easier for election administrators. Speer, with the Association of Americans Resident Overseas, said she wasnt interested in mounting a legal fight ahead of the midterm election, arguing that any effort to stop the federal government from using the new form could create even more confusion for voters. But Dzieduszycka-Suinat said U.S. Vote Foundation is investigating this issue and the emergency process that was used with legal counsel. She said the organization is prepared to fight in court. Eligible never resided voters must now seek their ballots through states, rather than through the federal government. California, for example, is one of 37 states that allow a U.S. citizen who never has lived in the United States to vote if their parent or legal guardian was previously registered to vote as a resident of the state. The California secretary of states office told The Post that the states online voter-registration application continues to include a category for U.S. citizens who have never resided in the U.S. Related Content This article originally appeared on Washington Post at https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/pentagon-used-emergency-measure-change-090000846.html

Judge denies Lindsay Clancy's bid to dismiss murder case, clearing path for retrial
A Massachusetts judge has denied Lindsay Clancys attempt to have the murder charges against her thrown out , clearing the way for prosecutors to pursue a retrial in the high-profile case involving the deaths of her three children. In a ruling issued Thursday, Plymouth Superior Court Judge William F. Sullivan rejected the defenses Rule 25 motion for a required finding of not guilty following Septembers mistrial. Under Massachusetts law, a Rule 25 motion asks a judge to determine whether prosecutors presented sufficient evidence for a reasonable jury to convict. Clancys attorney, Kevin Reddington, argued the Commonwealth failed to prove two key elements of its case: that Clancy killed her three children and that she was criminally responsible for her actions at the time. Sullivan disagreed, finding that prosecutors presented enough evidence for a reasonable jury to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that Clancy committed the killings and could be held criminally responsible. There was evidence introduced, both physical and circumstantial, that would permit a rational trier of fact to find beyond a reasonable doubt the elements of the charge of murder, Sullivan wrote. Lindsay Clancy and attorney Kevin Reddington in court on September 4, 2026, in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The decision does not determine guilt or innocence. Rather, it means the judge found the evidence presented during the first trial was legally sufficient for the case to proceed to a new jury. The ruling represents a significant victory for prosecutors, who have maintained that Clancy carefully planned the killings of her children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, on January 24, 2023, while her husband was briefly out of the familys Duxbury home. Newsweek has contacted Reddington by email and left a message with Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruzs office seeking comment. Why Judge Sullivan Said the Case Can Proceed According to the decision, prosecutors introduced both physical and circumstantial evidence showing that Clancy was alone with the children during the relevant time period. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, testified that he left the house to pick up takeout food and medication and later returned to find evidence of violence inside the home before discovering his children in the basement. Medical examiners testified that the children died from asphyxia or complications resulting from mechanical asphyxia. Prosecutors alleged the children were strangled with exercise bands. The judge also rejected the defenses challenge to the states evidence regarding criminal responsibility. During the trial, both sides agreed that Clancy suffered from a serious mental illness at the time. The central dispute was whether that illness rendered her legally incapable of appreciating the wrongfulness of her conduct or conforming her behavior to the law. Sullivan noted that three prosecution experts testified that Clancy retained those capacities, even if defense experts reached different conclusions. Resolving those competing opinions, he wrote, is a matter for a jury rather than a judge. Thursdays decision marks the second time Sullivan has rejected the defenses bid to dismiss the case, finding on both occasions that prosecutors presented sufficient evidence for a jury to consider the charges. New: Judge Sullivan denied Kevin Reddington's Rule 25 renewed motion for a required finding of not guilty for Lindsay Clancy. Judge issues his ruling in a bifurcated way, addressing the 2 arguments made by defense (and how Reddington originally wanted the trial split). #WBZ pic.twitter.com/2VkUVDLmM8 Kristina Rex (@KristinaRex) October 1, 2026 What Happens Next A hearing is scheduled for November 2, when the parties are expected to address several unresolved issues, including Clancys motion to block a retrial on double jeopardy grounds and the defenses request for a court inquiry into Michael Desronvil,the holdout juror who wanated to convict Clancy. Prosecutors have not yet said whether they intend to retry Clancy. Their options include pursuing another first-degree murder case, seeking lesser charges such as second-degree murder or manslaughter, or declining to move forward altogether. If a retrial is ordered, a new jury would once again be asked to decide whether Clancy is guilty of murdering her three children or whether her mental state at the time rendered her not criminally responsible.

The accord lays out layers of internal controls, independent assessments and board-level oversight, but remains a voluntary agreement rather than an enforceable regulatory regime. Trump has described the agreement as morally binding and emphasised industry self-policing.So is Super Intelligence a new era of AI governance, or largely a rebrand accompanied by voluntary promises?
