Crush of lawsuits over voting in multiple states creates a shadow
war for the 2024 election
By CHRISTINE FERNANDO
Associated Press
CHICAGO (AP) — As President Joe Bi-
den and Donald Trump step up their
campaigning in swing states, a quieter
battle is taking place in the shadows
of their White House rematch. The Re-
publican National Committee, newly
reconstituted under Trump, has filed
election-related lawsuits in nearly half
the states. Recent lawsuits over voter roll
maintenance in Michigan and Nevada
are part of a larger strategy targeting
various aspects of voting and election
administration. It’s not a new strategy.
But with recent internal changes at
the RNC and added pressure from the
former president, the legal maneuvering
is expected to play an increasingly sig-
nificant role for the party as Election Day
in November approaches. The lawsuits
are useful for campaign messaging,
fundraising and raising doubts about
the validity of the election. Danielle
Alvarez, a senior adviser to the RNC and
the Trump campaign, said the lawsuits
were one of the organization’s main
priorities this year. A ballot is handed to a voter, far right, as early voting takes place at the Warren City Hall, Feb. 21, 2024, in Warren, Mich.
