Chicago (AP)- Chicago-area Republicans filed a federal lawsuit on Monday alleging that Illinois’ expanded vote-by-mail program is a “partisan scheme” to help democrats get votes and could open the doors to election fraud.
The lawsuit comes amid several efforts by the GOP to curb mail-in-voting, which President Trump referred to a flawed and the greatest threat to his re-election.
Though several states rely on mail-in ballots and fraud related to it is rare, it is a complicated endeavor that more states are taking on during the coronavirus pandemic.
