GOP challenges to overseas balloting rules stymied in two key battleground states
Fox News
Judges in two battleground states have rejected GOP efforts to challenge what they say are lax procedures against voter fraud in overseas balloting.
The two separate court rulings come just weeks after Republicans in Pennsylvania, Michigan and North Carolina filed lawsuits aimed at restricting both the registration and vetting process for overseas voters. Breanne Deppisch is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering the 2024 election and other national news.
Republican plaintiffs argued that current law makes it possible for these residents to register and vote in elections without proper identification. That contention has been fiercely rejected by Democrats, who argued the level of vetting sought by Republicans would disenfranchise "tens of thousands" of voters abroad, including U.S service members and their families.
