Election Day: GOP Sues to Disqualify Thousands of Mail-In Ballots in Key States

HeadlineNov 08, 2022

It’s Election Day in the United States. The pivotal midterm elections will determine who controls the House and Senate, as well as many statehouses. A record 43 million people cast their ballots early. The Pennsylvania Senate race between Democrat John Fetterman and the Trump-backed Mehmet Oz is one of today’s most closely watched contests. On Monday, Fetterman filed a federal lawsuit in an effort to have mail-in ballots be counted even if they are undated or improperly dated. Meanwhile, Republicans have sued to disqualify thousands of mail-in ballots in key swing states including Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.

On Monday, President Biden warned the future of democracy is at risk.

President Joe Biden: “Today we face an inflection point, one of those moments that comes around every three or four generations. We know in our bones that our democracy is at risk, and we know that this is your moment to defend it, preserve or protect it, choose it.”
