WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Republican National Committee (RNC) is continuing its nationwide effort to stop non-residents from voting in states where they have never lived with active litigation now pending in Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, New Jersey, Virginia, and Nebraska.
This comes on the heels of a major RNC election integrity victory in North Carolina.
"After
a victory in the battleground state of North Carolina, the Republican National
Committee has pending litigation against six other states to stop U.S. citizens
who never lived in those states from voting in their elections.
The RNC
has sued battleground states Arizona and Nevada; blue states such as Colorado,
New Jersey, and Virginia; and the red state of Nebraska over laws allowing
non-residents to vote. These cases are narrowly focused on closing state
loopholes that allow people who never lived in a state to vote by absentee
ballot.
'If
you've never lived in a state, you shouldn't be voting in its elections,' RNC
Chairman Joe Gruters told The Daily Signal in a statement.
'The RNC
already put a stop to this unconstitutional loophole in North Carolina, and
we're taking Nebraska, Colorado, Nevada, and New Jersey to court to do the
same,' he said.
'We'll
keep fighting to ensure elections are only decided by legal residents.'"
