Republican Party sues over absentee ballots, voter rolls in battleground states

[RandySF]

The Republican National Committee and its lawyers are going state to state seeking to influence what laws and procedures will govern the November election.

The RNC, which has been overhauled with loyalists to former President Donald Trump, is reviving failed legal arguments from 2020 as it seeks to get involved in dozens of state and federal lawsuits. The cases are in all the major battleground states for 2024, but also in deep-red and deep-blue states.

Some of the biggest ongoing cases target how absentee ballots are processed and who should be removed from voter rolls. If the cases are successful, fewer people will be allowed to vote in November, and fewer absentee ballots will be counted.

In some cases, the RNC joins with a state party to sue a state or county official. In others, the national party seeks to intervene to support or oppose a case that an advocacy group brought first. The RNC also files friend-of-the-court briefs, seeks to get involved in rulemaking processes, or announces when it seeks public records as part of its own investigation.

1. I guess these are the lawsuits that Lara Trump bragged about in "81 states."

Republicans leave no stone unturned to prevent people from voting AND having their vote counted.

2. Lara Trump has nothing to do with the lawsuits,

I said when it happened that her co-chair Whatley, is much more problematic than Lara. When Whatley was the head of the RNC in N. Carolina he spent 75% of the money on legal fees, lawsuits, and he was hired to do the same thing nationwide.

4. People serving in our military should be warned what

Republicans are doing to make sure their vote is not counted.

5. People in the military know how to fill out an absentee correctly.

Trust me. They fill out form after form through out their time in the military. They’ve been trained to follow directions.

at one time. It's the other end I'm worried about!
