RNC Secures Election Law Wins in Swing States: What It Means for November
The Republican National Committee (RNC) continues to make headlines with recent election-related legal victories in Michigan and North Carolina, following a Supreme Court win over Arizona election procedures last week. This is part of the RNC’s broader “Protect the Vote” initiative, which has led to over 100 lawsuits across 25 states and engaged more than 150,000 lawyers and volunteers nationwide to oversee election integrity.
Key Victories and What They Mean:
Arizona and Noncitizen Voting:
The RNC scored a partial victory when the Supreme Court allowed Arizona to enforce a law requiring proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration in state and local elections. This move supports the principle that only American citizens should decide American elections, reinforcing voter ID measures and the integrity of the electoral process.Michigan and Signature Verification:
In Michigan, the RNC joined local Republican groups in suing Detroit for hiring disproportionately more Democratic election inspectors than Republicans, in violation of state law. The RNC also successfully challenged the Secretary of State’s directive that allowed absentee ballots to be presumed valid without verifying signatures, securing stricter signature verification rules.North Carolina and Poll Watcher Rights:
The RNC has been active in North Carolina, suing the State Board of Elections for failing to enforce citizenship verification for voters and not properly checking noncitizens on voter rolls. A previous victory also protected poll watchers' rights, ensuring transparency and oversight during elections.Wisconsin Poll Worker Parity:
In Wisconsin, the RNC enforced state laws requiring equal numbers of Republican and Democrat poll workers, especially in cities like Green Bay and Milwaukee. This victory helps maintain balanced oversight of the voting process, crucial in a closely contested state.Pennsylvania Mail-In Ballot Verification:
The RNC secured a win when the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Pennsylvania’s requirement for voters to date their mail-in ballots. This ruling safeguards the integrity of mail-in voting by ensuring that all ballots meet basic legal standards.
Looking Ahead to November:
The RNC’s legal strategy is designed to bolster election security and ensure that laws are uniformly enforced across states, particularly in swing states where the outcome of the election could hinge on a few key decisions. By securing these victories, the RNC aims to create a fair and transparent voting environment.
