RNC Sues Michigan Over Absentee Ballot Verification Procedures

Republicans claim state guidance undermines election integrity by not requiring clerks to verify signatures on absentee ballots properly.

The Republican National Committee has filed a lawsuit against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson over absentee ballot verification procedures.
The lawsuit argues that current state guidance allows absentee ballots to be counted without a required statement verifying the voter's signature.
Republicans claim that this oversight could lead to improper handling and counting of absentee ballots, potentially undermining election integrity.
Secretary of State Benson's office dismissed the lawsuit as unnecessary, stating that clerks have been instructed to follow proper procedures.
This lawsuit is part of a broader effort by the RNC to challenge election practices in multiple states ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
