Challenges in key state aren’t valid, says ACLU, and appear to be mass effort through mail-merge process

Summary

In Pennsylvania, a key battleground state, over 4,000 overseas ballots were challenged across 14 counties, targeting voters like Mariam Larson, a longtime mail-in voter from Canada.

Challenges allege non-residency for voters not in the military, yet federal law permits citizens abroad to vote in federal elections. The ACLU argues these challenges are invalid and mass-produced, urging counties to dismiss them quickly.

Some counties have received these challenges, filed by the Election Research Institute, despite similar lawsuits failing. The Election Research Institute is led by Heather Honey, a prominent activist who has spread false claims about elections.
