LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A federal judge in Michigan has dismissed a lawsuit brought by the Republican National Committee that accused the Secretary of State of failing to maintain accurate voter registration records. U.S. District Judge Jane Beckering says Tuesday that Republicans did not supply evidence and lacked legal standing in their challenge. The lawsuit is part of a broader effort by Republicans and allies, including the RNC, to raise questions about the integrity of the U.S. election. Various legal challenges have targeted aspects of the voting process in key battleground states including large voter registration records.
