The recent transformation of the state’s election laws explicitly enabled citizens to file unlimited challenges to other voters’ registrations. Experts warn that election officials’ handling of some of those challenges may clash with federal law.

    Just for the record. Dems can do this too. Guarantee some of these trumpets have a lake home and a real home and it would be pretty easy to challenge residency.

    Assuming that their challenge law is simple, which if someone challenged 100,000 voters it kinda seems to be.

    Fyi. Someone tried this in Montana in the 2000s and was chided out of court.

      If there’s no penalty for false challenges, Democrats should challenge every Republican registration.

        Fuck that. Let’s run a script to programmatically file challenges for all Republican voter registrations. If they really want to play this game, I am down to clown, motherfuckers.

      Republican majority board, if they could guess who’s who from where the challenges come from they might just game it anyway
