RNC revels in last-minute election legal wins after earlier setbacks

Wa Ex: After months of an aggressive legal strategy aimed at addressing what they saw as flaws in election rules, Republicans notched a pair of last-minute wins in court this week while fighting down to the wire in other voting cases just days ahead of Election Day.

In the past year, the RNC has filed 135 lawsuits in 26 states, according to Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley, in addition to dozens of other Republican-backed challenges in battleground states. Some of those challenges in the months ahead of Election Day failed, leaving in place permissive absentee voting and ballot counting laws in key swing states.

But two — purging noncitizens from Virginia voter rolls and extending an early voting deadline in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, after a judge reviewed evidence that some voters had been improperly turned away from polling places — have yielded victories for the GOP this week as lawyers from both parties prepare for the prospect of contesting razor-thin results on Election Day. more

  1. Wait to the last minute to do something like this looks only like election subversion. 2 out of hundreds of BS lawsuits is anything but bragging rights. Most last minute cases are getting rejected because it is to close to an election. This is exactly what people do when they think things aren’t going to plan, sue. Not a winning strategy. More like Plan B.
    We all know what Plan C is.
