A new RNC lawsuit would pause Montco mail voting and force a hand count of ballots already distributed

2. Here we go.

In a lawsuit filed in the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas alongside local Republicans, the RNC argued that the county’s quick start to mail voting violated Pennsylvania election law because ballots were distributed before the county began state-mandated logic and accuracy testing on election systems.

That testing is required before an election begins. By sending ballots before that testing, the RNC argued, Montgomery County began the general election.

“Remarkably, Defendants were aware that the L&A testing had not been completed on September 17, 2024 and public stated it would not commence until September 19, 2024,” the lawsuit said.....

However, the Department of State said the testing the RNC is referring to must be done 15 days before Election Day, not before ballots are printed and sent.
