In the past month, the DNC has filed three briefs challenging MAGA Republicans’ attempts to disenfranchise voters in Nevada, North Carolina, and Georgia and won a big case before the Wisconsin Supreme Court

As Republicans continue to launch a nationwide campaign to infringe on Americans’ voting rights and undermine democracy, the DNC is tackling Republican challenges head-on. This month alone, the DNC fought back against North Carolina Republicans’ attempts to steal a fair and free election in both federal and state court, opposed Republicans’ challenge to mail voting in Nevada, and filed an amicus brief against MAGA Republicans’ attempt to enact new state election rules in Georgia that would cause delays in election results and sow distrust in our election system. 

Meanwhile, the DNC also won a massive case in Wisconsin, which will allow the state to  continue to provide mobile sites to voters and limit the ability of individual Republicans to clog up the legal system with meritless attacks on the right to vote in the future. 

Politicians don’t decide elections. Voters do. That’s why Democrats stand firm in our commitment to protecting Americans’ right to vote across the country.

In Nevada:

Rolling Stone: Dems Seek to Block GOP Attack on Mail-In Voting

“The DNC is asking the Ninth Circuit Court to dismiss the RNC appeals on several grounds, including a lack of standing and the reality that Nevada’s mail-in voting system is ‘consistent with longstanding election-administration practice’ followed by more than a dozen states that allow mail-in ballots received after the election to be counted so long as they comply with postmarking deadlines.”

Salon: DNC intervenes in North Carolina Supreme Court fight, accuses GOP of trying to “steal an election”

[Russell Payne, 2/18/25]

“In the brief filed Tuesday, the DNC argues that the state Supreme Court let the earlier Wake County Superior Court decision stand. ‘Voters may not be retroactively disenfranchised based upon technical defects in their voter registration,’ the brief states. Republicans, it continues, ‘have provided no evidence that any of the voters they challenge are not qualified to register and vote, so this Court should uphold its long-established precedents rejecting challenges to eligible voters’ ballots based on technical defects in their registration, consistent with federal and state law prohibiting retroactive disenfranchisement of voters.’”
