ATLANTA — The NAACP and allied groups are asking a judge to limit how the federal government uses voter data seized in an FBI raid near Atlanta.

In a motion filed late Sunday, they asked the judge to bar any use beyond the stated criminal investigation. They also asked for a full inventory of what agents took during the Jan. 28 seizure at the Fulton County elections hub and who has accessed it.

Searchers find wreck of luxury steamer

MADISON — Shipwreck World, a group that works to discover shipwrecks around the world, announced Friday that a team led by shipwreck hunter Paul Ehorn found the Lac La Belle about 20 miles offshore between Racine and Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 2022.

The Lac La Belle left Milwaukee in October 1872. It was headed to Grand Haven, Michigan, when it began taking on water and sank. Eight people died.

Ehorn says the announcement was delayed because poor weather and other commitments kept the team from getting quality photos of the wreck until last summer.
