RNC Defending Voting Integrity
Republican National Committee going to bat in litigation against voter integrity laws

The North Carolina law was greeted by legal challenges with three separate lawsuits involving eight Democratic Party-affiliated organizations and allies, represented by six law firms.
The Republican National Committee is moving to intervene in lawsuits from Democrats challenging recently approved legislation billed as a boost to election integrity.
Senate Bill 747 contains “appropriate safeguards and transparency while still offering voters ample opportunities to cast a ballot,” the RNC and North Carolina Republican Party wrote in a motion to intervene in three lawsuits filed by the Democratic National Committee, its state affiliate, and allies.
“Joe Biden should be focused on solving the crises that have erupted under his watch, not directing his political operation to sue state legislators for passing good laws,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a prepared statement Thursday. “Senate Bill 747 cracks down on noncitizens voting, protects bipartisan poll watchers, and gets rid of dark money in elections – polling shows that the American people support these common-sense measures.
“The RNC and NCGOP are proud to fight for North Carolinians in court with this intervention,” she said.
