ACLU Sues Over Voter Harassment Amid Certification Issues

The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit in Michigan against individuals accused of harassing voters, leading to a temporary restraining order to prevent voter intimidation. In Virginia, a judge ordered election officials to certify results despite a pending Republican lawsuit demanding a hand count of ballots due to distrust in voting machines. Clemson's football coach, Dabo Swinney, encountered a voting mishap when his son's vote was mistakenly counted as his own, which was later corrected using a paper ballot. Across battleground states, officials are prepared to take legal action against counties that attempt to disrupt or delay vote certification. These actions follow previous warnings from state officials in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and New Mexico about the necessity of certifying elections. The U.S. Justice Department is monitoring polling in six Virginian localities to ensure compliance with election laws.
