On Wednesday, the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the New Hampshire GOP filed a motion to get involved in the Democratic National Committee's (DNC) lawsuit over a voting law in New Hampshire.
Republican groups are seeking to become parties in the case to defend New Hampshire Senate Bill 418, an election law requiring those who register to vote without photo ID on election day to send in qualifying documentation within seven days to keep their ballot from being thrown out.
According to The Hill, the DNC sued New Hampshire officials over the law last month, claiming it will disenfranchise voters in the state.
The Republican groups argue in their filing that the relief sought by the DNC would “directly harm the legal rights and interests” of the RNC and NHRSC, as well as their registered members and voters.
“It speaks volumes that as Americans struggle with an unprecedented border crisis and crushing inflation, the Biden campaign and DNC are laser-focused on gutting voter ID in New Hampshire,” RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel said in a statement, adding Democrats are making elections “less secure.”
“The RNC and NHGOP are proud to fight in court to protect elections in the Granite State and defend voter ID, which a vast majority of Americans support,” McDaniel said.
