Election

CNN -  An overseas ballot process that could be crucial for Democrats has been the target of multiple Republican-backed lawsuits filed in recent days. There are about 6.5 million eligible American voters living, serving and studying overseas, with about 1.6 million of them from battleground states — and more in tight House districts. Those votes could be decisive: The 2020 election was decided by 44,000 votes over four states. More than 1.2 million ballots were sent abroad in 2020 and nearly 890,000 were eventually counted, according to a report by the US Election Assistance Commission. In addition to the new lawsuits filed by Republicans in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Michigan, Donald Trump has suggested without evidence that the overseas vote is a source of fraud.
