GOP lawsuits leading up to this year’s election focus on claims to prevent non-citizens from voting despite legal experts saying few risk casting ballots.
- Lawsuits Trump and his allies filed and lost in 2020 reveal likely claims this year, including accusations of ineligible voters casting ballots and election officials stuffing ballot boxes.
- Conservative legal experts found Trump and allies ‘failed to produce evidence’ of widespread claims of voter fraud in 2020.
Former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies appear to be laying the groundwork for legal challenges to the 2024 election if Trump loses, following the same playbook they pursued in 2020. The Republican National Committee has filed more than 100 election-related lawsuits so far, with many focusing on the same issues that Trump claimed cost him the election last time, such as illegitimate mail-in ballots being counted and a lack of safeguards against noncitizens voting.
