At issue is a memorandum Benson sent to election officials ahead of the state's presidential primary encouraging them to apply a "presumption of validity" to signatures on absentee ballot requests, which the RNC contends violates the state constitution's signature matching requirement.

"This new rule, however, is directly inconsistent with the plain language of the Michigan Constitution and the Michigan Election Law," the suit stated. It further highlighted a rule Benson promulgated that grants election officials broad leeway to account for discrepancies in signatures on return envelopes with signatures on file, which the RNC described as permitting verification based on "mere speculation."

"Michigan’s State Constitution is very clear: election officials have to verify the identity of voters casting absentee ballots," said RNC Chairman Michael Whatley in a statement. "Jocelyn Benson is yet again working to undermine election integrity by secretly instructing officials to disregard and circumvent these clear requirements. The RNC is suing Benson because Michiganders deserve election integrity, not underhanded Democrat schemes."


This is what the RNC should have been doing...but didn't do under McDaniels...for the past three years. It's about time.

There is no more RNC. There is only Trump.

And November is going to be an epic disaster for all of these criminals and traitors.

Well ****!

a "presumption of validity" is almost as bad as a presumption of innocence

We should instead assume that all signatures are invalid

It's the only way for Trump to win

And who in Michigan is the RNC going to hand that task off to....the Michigan RNC? Laughable.....the Michigan RNC keeps shooting itself in the foot. It barely exists at this point.
 
They definitely had South Carolina in their sites too. This is what they do.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A federal court on Thursday ruled that this year’s congressional elections in South Carolina will be held under a map that it had already deemed unconstitutional and discriminatory against Black voters, with time running out ahead of voting deadlines and a lack of a decision on the case by the Supreme Court.​
In an order, a panel of three federal judges from South Carolina wrote that “with the primary election procedures rapidly approaching, the appeal before the Supreme Court still pending, and no remedial plan in place, the ideal must bend to the practical.”​
South Carolina’s primary elections are June 11, and early voting starts May 28. The deadline for overseas absentee ballots is April 27, ahead of which the judges wrote that it’s “plainly impractical” to make changes to the maps.​
They just lurv working in the unconstitutional era.

The RNC will be out of money soon. Trumps lawyers need to be paid.

What's wrong with presumption of innocence?

In any case, this suit is about making certain that signatures match instead of letting suspect signatures slide and counting the votes.

The RNC doesn't have a choice. The election officials already have the task. This suit is to make sure the election officials follow the law.
 
Wrong.

It's call forcing compliance with the law.
The law is being enforced:

Happy now? 🤣

Lara to the rescue!!!!!
 
Two threads about the GOP hoping to disqualify voters in one day @Mycroft

You sure do seem excited about the prospect!


What about disqualifying voters makes you so eager to post about it?
It's not about disqualifying voters. It's about holding election official to the law. It's about taking away criminal tactics from the Trump haters.
 
Deflection noted...and rejected.

You are dismissed.
I was agreeing with you that the law around election fraud needs to be enforced.
And now you are crying because I agreed with you???????????????
As for dismissing me, that is laughable. 🤣
 
What's wrong with presumption of innocence?

The exact same thing which is wrong with the presumption of validity.


the presumption of innocence means we don't even have trials or arrest people.
we just presume they are innocent

I think the problem lies with the validation, with the number of votes validation is a difficult proposition. Computers have a difficult time and doing it personally would take too long, I think the only thing they are looking for is obvious problems, missing signatures or signatures that are just squiggles.
