Republicans in Georgia are trying to appoint a man who has aggressively challenged local residents' eligibility to vote to the election board of a key Democratic voter stronghold.

A U.S. Supreme Court challenge to Harvard University's affirmative action program is based in part on flawed analysis by a Holocaust denier who publishes neo-Nazi content on his personal website, according to a report.

The six right-wing justices in the majority are widely expected to back the challenge, which draws heavily from a 2012 article by Ron Unz arguing that Jewish applicants were given preferential treatment at Ivy League schools, and rule against the longstanding practice using race as a factor in evaluating students, reported The Guardian.

The Human Rights Campaign, one of America's leading LGBTQ rights groups, declared a national state of emergency on Tuesday.

"We have officially declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ people in the United States for the first time following an unprecedented and dangerous spike in anti-LGBTQ+ legislative assaults sweeping state houses this year," said the group through its website. "More than 75 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been signed into law this year alone, more than doubling last year’s number, which was previously the worst year on record."
