Quick Glance: Twin City Forum: A Crucial Test for Taiwan-China Relations
- The 15th Taipei-Shanghai Twin City Forum was initially scheduled for summer, but no final plans have been announced.
- The delay reflects heightened tensions between Taiwan and China, particularly following President Lai Ching-te's election.
- The forum serves as a key indicator of political willingness for dialogue and cooperation, although Beijing has ceased formal talks with Taiwan's government since 2016.
- If the forum does not occur this year, it would signal a decline in political engagement from both sides.

Supreme Court grants GOP bid to require citizenship proof for some Arizona voters
npr.org/2024/08/22/nx-s1-5084146/voter-registration-arizona-supreme-court-citizenship
Quick Glance: Supreme Court Partially Upholds Arizona Voting Regulations
- The Supreme Court partially granted the Republican National Committee's (RNC) emergency request to reinstate an Arizona law that bolsters proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting. In a 5-4 decision, the justices ruled that state officials must reject voter registration forms lacking proof of citizenship.
- The dissent came from the court's three liberal justices, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, alongside conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett. The ruling was hailed by RNC Chairman Michael Whatley as a significant victory in preventing non-citizen voting.
- The law is estimated to potentially disqualify around 42,000 registered voters from participating in the upcoming presidential election. The timing of the ruling aligns with Arizona's ballot printing deadline, making the provisions effective for the critical elections ahead.
- The ruling contrasts with the Biden administration's position, which has challenged one of the provisions in court. Various voting rights groups and the Democratic National Committee have also contested the legality of these changes, arguing they are unconstitutional and conflict with federal law. The RNC, along with top Arizona Republican lawmakers, pushed for the Supreme Court's review after lower courts blocked the provisions.

nytimes.com/2024/08/26/us/elections/georgia-elections-lawsuit-democrats.html
Quick Glance: Democrats Challenge New Election Rules in Georgia
- The lawsuit from the Democratic Party of Georgia and other plaintiffs contests new election rules from the Georgia State Election Board that may jeopardize the certification of legitimate election results.
- Critics argue that the new rules permitting unlimited 'reasonable inquiries' before certification could lead to chaos, as 'reasonable' is not clearly defined.
- The suit seeks a court declaration that the certification of election results must occur by the statutory deadline of November 12 and is mandatory rather than discretionary.
- Democrats are determined to block the new regulations, viewed as a strategic attempt to undermine the election results in November.
