NPR reports that a North Carolina state judge has ruled against the Republican National Committee’s request to set aside the ballots of some overseas voters. This ruling came down on Monday — the same day a Michigan state judge dismissed a similar case brought by the RNC.

Just over a month after North Carolina’s lieutenant governor announced a defamation lawsuit against both CNN and a former employee of a Greensboro porn shop, the allegations will have a day in court.

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson and his legal team amended his lawsuit against CNN which now seeks an excess of $25,000 in damages.
