From The Daily Wire:
The Republican National Committee (RNC) has filed voting-related lawsuits in two different states, Michigan and North Carolina, in a matter of days.
The RNC, run by chairman Michael Whatley and co-chair Lara Trump, is suing the city of Detroit, over a “deliberate” refusal to hire an equal number of Republican election inspectors as Democrat election inspectors.
In a suit against the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE), the RNC is seeking to force the board to require identification to prove a potential voter’s citizenship. RNC officials say the suit is necessary to comply with federal law and keep non-citizens from voting.
The RNC said in a press release sent to The Daily Wire that Michigan law requires election officials to hire an “equal number, as nearly as possible,” of poll workers from each major political party. The GOP nominated 675 election inspectors, but Detroit only appointed 52 of them; in contrast, the city has hired over 2,300 Democrat election inspectors.
“A ratio of 7 Democrats to every one Republican inspector is not even close to equal,” the RNC release said. (Read more.)
