HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A federal judge had some pointed questions but did not immediately rule Friday on a request that Pennsylvania election officials
The exterior of the federal courthouse in Harrisburg, Pa., is shown Friday, Oct. 18, 2024, where a judge heard argument regarding a request by six Republican members of Congress that he direct elections officials to take additional steps to verify the identity and eligibility of overseas voters, including those serving in the military and their families. HARRISBURG, Pa.
At issue are thousands of ballots in Pennsylvania, a pivotal swing state that could decide the presidential contest between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. “It’s insulting that there had to be an argument about whether or not our votes should be set aside or counted,” said Kate Marsh Lord after she attended the hearing. She is communications director for Secure Families Initiative — a group of about 10,000 military spouses and family members that, among other things, educates and registers voters.
Houlahan, an Air Force veteran, said during a streamed news conference sponsored by the veterans group Vet Voice Foundation that the plaintiffs “themselves are in Congress because somebody voted for them. Two of them actually served in the military. And I believe they should, frankly, know better.” Lawyers for Schmidt and Marks have argued federal laws exempt overseas voters “from identification requirements imposed on other voters who register to vote by mail” and that it’s too late to pursue the lawsuit, with Election Day now a little more than two weeks away.
