Republican lawsuits challenge mail ballot deadlines. Could they upend voting across the country?
SUMMARY: Republicans have filed lawsuits in Mississippi and North Dakota challenging extended mail ballot deadlines, which could impact mail voting for the presidential election. The lawsuits, brought by conservative groups, argue that late-arriving mailed ballots violate federal law. These suits have raised concerns among Democrats and voting rights groups, who fear that a ruling against ballot deadlines could set a precedent with widespread implications. The Republican National Committee is hoping to set a judicial precedent before the election. Critics argue that the lawsuits are politically motivated and could disenfranchise certain voters. The legal basis for the lawsuits has been criticized, and it remains to be seen how these cases will be resolved.
