Donald Trump's reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee are fighting to defend laws that make it harder for people to vote.

Donald Trump's reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee have announced plans to spend more than $10 million in support of restrictive voting laws — and plans to recruit a cadre of lawyers to monitor the 2020 elections — according to a new Politico report.

The strategy includes defending Michigan laws that make voting more difficult. One bans arranging rides to the polls for anyone who is not "physically unable to walk," while another restricts people from mailing in absentee ballots others, Politico wrote.

These prohibitions are currently being challenged by Democratic super PAC Priorities USA, which says they put a "severe burden" on people voting.

In a court filing submitted Wednesday, the GOP defends them as "constitutionally valid statutes that the legislature has enacted to help structure and ensure the integrity of the electoral environment."

"[Democrats are] trying to rig the game with frivolous lawsuits that do nothing but create electoral chaos, waste taxpayer money, and distract election officials in an attempt to advance the Democrats' voter suppression myth because they know they can’t beat President Trump at the ballot box," McDaniel claimed.

This should come as no surprise, except perhaps to Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, who seemingly exist in a parallel universe.

On what basis can you ban arranging rides for ANYONE for any legal activity?

This is insane.
