RNC FILES AN ELECTION INTEGRITY LAWSUIT IN MISSISSIPPI CHALLENGING BALLOT

FIRST ON FOX — The Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit Friday to stop
Mississippi ballots received days after Election Day from being counted, arguing
a current statute violates federal law. The state's current deadline allows
ballots postmarked on or before Election Day to be counted if received within
five business days of the election. 

The RNC, along with the Mississippi Republican Party and the Hinds County
Republican Party, are claiming the practice violates the federal Election Day
statute, which states that "the Tuesday next after the 1st Monday in November,
in every even numbered year, is established as the day for the election."

"Federal law is very clear. Election Day is the Tuesday after the first Monday
in November. However, some states accept and count ballots days and days after
Election Day, and we believe that practice is wrong," RNC Chairwoman Ronna
McDaniel told Fox News Digital.

"We are filing this lawsuit because counting ballots that are received well
after polls have closed could undermine voter confidence in elections."

The Mississippi lawsuit could have major implications on how other states
conduct their elections. The RNC is inovlved in 74 election integrity lawsuits
in 22 states, in addition to mobilizing thousands of poll watchers in dozens of
battleground states ahead of Election Day in November.

The RNC also launched "Bank Your Vote" websites in all 50 states to educate
Republicans how to vote early, request a ballot and find voting locations.

The majority of Trump supporters say they have no confidence in vote counting
and reporting in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, according to a recent
USA Today/Suffolk University Poll. In addition, two-thirds of Trump supporters
believe Biden was not legitimately elected in 2020.

The Democratic National Committee has been fighting election integrity laws in
swing states. On Wednesday, the Biden campaign scored a legal victory in North
Carolina after the Democrats won a lawsuit filed to block an election law that
would require photo ID and address verification for voters registering on the
day of the election.
