RNC has launched 73 election lawsuits in 20 states: 'Most litigious' election cycle
Fox News
The GOP is set to have the "most litigious" election cycle since 1981, launching 73 election integrity lawsuits in 20 states on issues such as poll watchers and absentee ballots.
This aggressive legal approach is an effort to meet RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel's vision of making this cycle the RNC’s "most litigious," according to an RNC spokesperson. The strategy includes offense-minded lawsuits, such as suing Democratic secretaries of state and challenging Democrat-friendly election laws, and defensive actions that include intervening in lawsuits brought by the Biden administration in Republican states. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
The strategy comes two years after a cycle that left some Republicans wanting a bigger effort to rein in state election activities and a presidential election result that prompted former President Trump to file dozens of lawsuits. One GOP group welcomed the decision to take aggressive legal steps to make sure states aren't allowed to stretch their election rules beyond what's in state law.
