WASHINGTON - The RNC has secured two pivotal legal victories in Michigan and North Carolina – both critical battleground states in the upcoming elections. 

RNC Chairman Michael Whatley stated: “Voter ID and signature verification are important safeguards to prevent cheating and fraud. These critical Election Integrity victories will help voters cast their ballots with confidence. Michigan and North Carolina can decide this election, and we are committed to holding election officials accountable and ensuring the law is followed.” 

Background:  

• The RNC and Michigan GOP filed a lawsuit against Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson for failing to properly enforce absentee ballot verification laws. In response to our lawsuit, Secretary Benson has updated her guidance to require proof that signatures have been verified before ballots are counted.  
• In North Carolina, the RNC and North Carolina GOP took a stand against the State Board of Elections for unlawfully allowing digital student IDs as a valid form of voter identification. The Court ultimately sided with us and the rule of law.
• These legal victories are just the latest in the RNC’s unprecedented fight to secure our country’s most important election.  ​
