Six GOP congressmen sue to have Pa. military and overseas ballots set aside in November election [View all]
Six Republican members of Congress are suing the Pennsylvania Department of State, arguing that ballots from overseas voters — including members of the U.S. military — are susceptible to fraud because those voters are not subject to ID requirements applied to U.S.-based absentee voters.
None of the six lawmakers, who represent Pennsylvania, voted to certify the 2020 election results, and the lawyers working with them were involved in the election-denial efforts in 2020.
Several election-law experts called the suit a voter-suppression play that faces little chance in court given its last-minute filing before the highly consequential presidential election in Pennsylvania.
“This is not designed to fix a problem that actually exists,” David Becker, of the nonpartisan Center for Election and Innovation, said of the lawsuit. He sees it as a move to sow distrust ahead of the election.
