The GOP is readying for crucial court battles that may influence the 2024 election outcome.

The Republican Party is committed to ensuring they have an equal number of lawyers in the courts during the 2024 elections, as GOP leaders heavily rely on a new "election integrity" initiative launched this year to prevent the same mistakes from happening again in 2020.

The GOP aims to enhance its performance nationwide through recruiting and training poll observers and increasing transparency in the voting process, according to senior Republican Party officials.

RNC officials stated that they have enlisted approximately 230,000 volunteers nationwide, with 5,000 lawyers primarily based in battleground states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

On the eve of Election Day, the lawyers' skills could be particularly valuable in the days and weeks ahead.

The second half of the election integrity push involves litigation, with some lawsuits aimed at ensuring "poll worker parity" and access for Republican observers at many election sites across the country, according to senior party officials.

They have filed numerous lawsuits to challenge voter identification laws, tighten citizenship verification standards, and impose new requirements for mail-in and provisional ballots in different states.

In key swing states, the Republican Party has been actively filing pre-election lawsuits to establish the rules of the road.

Over 130 lawsuits have been filed by party officials in the 2024 election, which accounts for the majority of the approximately 200 election-related lawsuits.

The GOP-led lawsuits have dominated headlines in the final race to Election Day, primarily in the seven swing states considered to hold outsize importance in determining the next president. However, Republican Party officials pointed to courtroom victories won as early as this summer as some of their biggest achievements.

In August, the city of Detroit was successfully sued by the RNC.

The RNC had sued to increase the number of Republican election inspectors in the city's 300-plus voting precincts, arguing that the 7.5-to-one ratio of Democrat inspectors to Republican inspectors violated state law, which mandates an equal number of election officials from both major political parties. As a result, more Republican observers were added.

Last week in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, a judge ruled in favor of the GOP's request to extend early voting deadlines from Tuesday, Nov. 5, to Friday, Nov. 8.

Republican officials have touted success in achieving more transparency in state elections.

According to a senior RNC official, the implementation of this measure will ensure that America's elections are conducted in a transparent and trustworthy manner, which is beneficial to everyone in the country, regardless of their political affiliation.

Whether U.S. elections will have more trust established on Election Day remains uncertain due to ongoing efforts.

To ensure election security, both safeguards must be put in place around voter registration and ballot-casting, as well as the voters trusting the results of the vote as legitimate.

According to a recent AP-NORC poll, Democrats are more confident in the 2024 presidential election outcome than Republicans.

While 71% of Democrats expressed high confidence in the election outcome, only 24% of Republicans shared the same sentiment.

Looking ahead

Some lawsuits could be used by the RNC to challenge the election results, but it is unclear how effective any legal challenges would be in contesting the outcome, even if the results are very close in a tight race.

Andrew McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York, stated in an interview with Planet Chronicle that courts are unlikely to hear cases following Election Day.

"McCarthy stated that the game should be fair, with clear guidelines established before Election Day, to ensure that everyone is aware of the rules."

"After an election, it's challenging to get a court to intervene and potentially alter the election's outcome," he stated.

Trey Gowdy, a former federal prosecutor and Congress member, stated in an interview with Planet Chronicle Digital that the nation's top court is especially true.

He stated that the Supreme Court is cautious about getting involved in politically charged disputes.
