The RNC is suing states over policies accepting mail-in ballots up to 7 days post-Election Day, claiming it delays certification and harms election integrity.
The Republican National Committee said it has filed national lawsuits to stop several states from counting mail-in-ballots after Election Day, as California has taken nearly a month to certify some races. 'It is absurd for California to accept ballots by mail up to 7 days after Election Day and take almost a month to count them,' RNC Chairman Michael Whatley wrote on X.
Republican criticism of extended-vote counting periods has intensified this election cycle, including in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Prior to Sen. Bob Casey's concession last week in Pennsylvania's Senate seat to his Republican opponent, Dave McCormick, national and state Republican parties went to court arguing counties should not count mail-in-ballots where the voter either didn't write a date on the return envelope or wrote the wrong one, the AP reported.
