In two separate rulings handed down Monday, judges rejected the RNC’s requests that could’ve called thousands of ballots into question. Overseas voting has become the latest battleground in Republicans’ election lawsuits this cycle. The voting bloc is viewed as increasingly Democratic as it now primarily comprises U.S. citizens living abroad, rather than uniformed service members. The RNC challenged how the states accept ballots from citizens living abroad who never lived there, as long as their parents were eligible to vote in the state before moving overseas. Michigan also extends the protections to spouses.

Latches. Just like 2020, the courts won't hear these cases, the won't look at evidence. They will use procedure to avoid it.

The the left will falsely claim that "courts found no evidence" .

You won't ever find any if you dont look.

Why would non-residents of North Carolina need to register to vote in North Carolina?

It’s more likely that they got wind of an avenue being used for fraud and filed a lawsuit against the avenue.

And then 3 years from now they’ll look and rule that this was illegal with any consequences for it.

Are you saying a law that allows an 18-year-old living in Costa Rica whose family moved away from Michigan when the 18-year-old was 14, should be allowed to vote in Michigan still?

I mean I guess if they promise they’re coming back to the US, but this isn’t a slam dunk non fraud.

Like how would that 18-year-old get registered to be on the roles in Michigan?

Yes, and he also feels no ID would be needed to confirm it.

If you believe in fair voting systems, you are in a cult

I learned today that you could never have lived in the US and vote in US elections.

If you vote absentee than you need to have your ballot in on the deadline. I sent mine in and it was received last week.

Yet judges all over the country legislated from the bench to change election laws right before the election in 2020.

Unless you are paying taxes in that state as an expat, you should not be allowed to vote in that state. You should be a current and active resident. Plain and simple.

If you are traveling abroad for work short-term (< 1 year), that is different, but unless you are an actual resident of the state, your vote should go into an unassiciated pool.

Mail in ballots should be accepted to two weeks before election day. After that no more can be accepted. Anyone that's says otherwise just wants to be able to cheat

If you can't abide by rules and timeframes you don't deserve to vote

Oh, and make election day a federal holiday

Parentage should have nothing to do with someone being eligible to vote. If you are an adult and have never lived in a state as an adult, then you should have no say in how a state is run and thus should not be eligible to vote.
