The Republican National Committee (RNC) has filed a lawsuit against the Milwaukee Election Commission, accusing it of unfairly limiting the number of poll observers at voting locations. The RNC claims that the commission's actions violate state law by restricting observers to one Democrat and one Republican at certain precincts during early voting and potentially on Election Day. The Milwaukee Election Commission asserts that it promotes transparency and denies arbitrary restrictions, explaining that limitations are only applied to maintain a smooth voting process when necessary. The lawsuit seeks to ensure that observers from both parties can monitor the voting process, reflecting the heightened interest in this election. The city's election officials maintain that they have been in open communication with the RNC and are prepared to respond to the lawsuit, highlighting broader tensions over election integrity and transparency ahead of a major national election.
