A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by six Republican congressmen from Pennsylvania, which sought to impose stricter verification procedures for ballots submitted by military and overseas voters. U.S. District Judge Christopher Conner ruled that the plaintiffs acted too late, filing their complaint just weeks before the November 5 election, and lacked evidence to support their claims of potential fraud. The judge asserted that the proposed changes could disrupt Pennsylvania's election system, harming thousands of voters and election officials. This decision reflects a broader trend, as Republicans have faced multiple legal setbacks in recent weeks while attempting to challenge voting procedures across various states. The ruling was welcomed by the Harris campaign, emphasizing the importance of allowing servicemen and women to participate in democracy without undue obstacles.
