The Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit on April 18 against Fairfax County, claiming its election training policies allow noncitizens with driver privilege cards to vote unchallenged — a complaint filed just three days before a redistricting special election Democrats are expected to win. The lawsuit is part of a broader GOP push for citizenship voting requirements, despite investigations repeatedly finding noncitizen voting is nearly nonexistent and that such eligibility challenges often disenfranchise legitimate voters. The timing suggests Republicans are attempting to either block or undermine an election they oppose on the redistricting maps.
