Federal Judge Dismisses RNC Lawsuit on Michigan Voter Rolls

The court ruled that the Republican National Committee lacked standing to challenge Michigan's voter registration practices.

U.S. District Judge Jane Beckering ruled that the RNC and individual plaintiffs failed to demonstrate concrete harm required for legal standing.
The lawsuit alleged that Michigan's voter rolls contained more registered voters than adult citizens in several counties, citing census data.
Judge Beckering found the claims speculative and not indicative of violations of the National Voter Registration Act.
Michigan's voter roll maintenance includes removing deceased voters and updating residency changes, with nearly 1 million cancellations since 2019.
The Democratic National Committee supported Michigan officials, and the court noted no specific breakdown in the state's voter removal program.
