From our @statesnewsroom democracy reporter @zackroth : Legal fights leave question marks over ballot access in presidential battleground states newsfromthestates.com/articl…
It was inevitable that this day would come. An entire state GOP has gone on record as being opposed to democracy.
Wow.
Washington State Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud:
They hate democracy.
No joke.
Watch this. #DemocracyIsFreedom
NEW: @GOP “election integrity” lawyer Christina Bobb was indicted in the Arizona fake electors scheme a day before a planned appearance at a meeting of election conspiracy theorists to recruit volunteers for GOP’s “historic” vote monitoring program.

Three months after Iowa Capital Dispatch reported that Iowa HHS is likely violating federal voting law, the department has publicly acknowledged the problem but remains vague on the plan for fixing it, @zackroth reports. iowacapitaldispatch.com/2024… via @IowaCapDispatch
.@GOP announces "historic collaboration between the RNC, the Trump Campaign, and passionate grassroots coalitions who are deeply invested in fighting voter fraud."
Reminder: These are the kinds of grassroots coalitions they mean...

NEW: Head of the RNC's “election integrity” dept spoke at a disinfo-filled online meeting hosted by anti-fraud activists who are close allies of Mike Lindell.
Other RNC staff also have recently reached out to large-scale purveyors of election lies.

NEW: How Trump and the GOP are looking to use fears over immigration to bolster efforts to restrict voting.

Amazing that @jdawsey1 did this whole story without mentioning the numerous lawsuits RNC has filed to restrict mail voting!
NEW: Trump has repeatedly called for the end of “corrupt” mail-in ballots and has decried ballot harvesting. His RNC and campaign are planning campaigns to convince skeptical GOP voters to vote by mail and harvest ballots — for fear of losing swing states. washingtonpost.com/elections…
I can't read this because paywalled -- does it mention that they're also suing in multiple states to make mail voting harder? Probably a better indicator of their views on it... newsfromthestates.com/articl…

Via @ZackRoth: Republican AGs have advanced a string of arguments — some strikingly far-reaching — that appear designed to lay the groundwork for GOP legal victories in the event of a contested presidential vote, or to otherwise boost Trump and the party. alabamareflector.com/2024/03…
NEW: To boost Trump, GOP AGs led by @SteveMarshallAL have lately filed briefs in election cases to weaken civil rights laws, greenlight gerrymandered maps, and empower partisan state legislatures to set election rules.

The GOP effort to get its voters to vote by mail was always in tension with its simultaneous effort to restrict mail voting, as we reported. Guess which side won out.
The party’s “Bank Your Vote” initiative is done. State directors were fired. More election lawsuits are coming. And some former RNC officials are worried that the party will only be about Trump… and not other races. washingtonpost.com/politics/…
They've already been happening though...
newsfromthestates.com/articl…
Buckle up for the election lawsuits:
The RNC’s “new posture as it relates to litigation is much more offensive and much less defensive” says team Trump in this @michaelscherer @jdawsey1 @marianne_levine piece on Trump-Style shock-and-awe

Very useful "American Autocracy Threat Tracker" released by @just_security puts in one place all of Trump and his allies' anti-democratic plans once in office

But the point is they are also trying to restrict it in court.
Fearing that Democrats hold a crucial edge in ballots cast before Election Day, national Republicans are working to convince their voters to take advantage of mail and early voting this year, reports @zackroth.

GOP backs voting by mail, yet turns to courts to restrict it in battleground states like Pennsylvania buff.ly/3wywj1Q by @zackroth
NEW: From Arizona to Pennsylvania & Nevada to North Carolina, @GOP lawyers have launched a campaign to make it as hard as possible in key states to cast a valid mail ballot — often adopting strikingly anti-voter interpretations of the law
