U.S. Judge Dismisses GOP Lawsuit on Overseas Ballot Procedures

A federal judge dismissed a Republican lawsuit against Pennsylvania's procedures for verifying ballots from military and overseas voters. The suit contested exemptions and claimed vulnerability to fraud. The court found no evidence of foreign interference and stated the lawsuit was filed too late.

A U.S. judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by six Republican members of the House of Representatives targeting Pennsylvania's election procedures for verifying overseas ballots.

The case was deemed untimely, as the state's procedures for military and overseas voters have been established for several years, and no evidence of foreign influence was presented.

The lawsuit was one of many legal challenges by Republicans trying to tighten voting rules and prevent what they claim are illegal votes, but these efforts have largely failed, with multiple court losses in recent weeks.
