Story summary
  • The Republican National Committee (RNC) filed a lawsuit on April 7, 2026, to restrict voting access for U.S. citizens living abroad.
  • The complaint targets a Virginia law allowing overseas voters to vote based on their parents' Virginia address.
  • The RNC seeks to cancel existing overseas registrations and bar future voting.
  • It argues overseas voters favor Democrats and thus disadvantage the GOP, part of a broader effort intensified since 2020.
