On Friday, CNN ran a very encouraging story headlined, “Republicans are suing more election officials over voter rolls in several battleground states. It’s the best news you haven’t heard about.

Though CNN never complained when leftists were doing it, CNN thinks all this conservative lawfare is just terrible and is a dangerous threat to our democracy. It quoted liberal election activist Uzoma Nkwonta (fake name alert), who whined “you are seeing what appears to be an outright assault on the list maintenance practices, an outright assault on voter registration practices.”

That already sounded promising. But get this:

Digging deeper, I discovered CNN underreported the number of active lawsuits. From Democracy Docket, which CNN cited as its source:

I’m not saying corporate media is downplaying all the RNC’s election-related lawfare or anything. I’ll let you decide.

The states with lawsuits include the tossup and battleground states, like Georgia, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Voter roll cleanup operations are also widespread. On Friday, ProPublica reported that Oklahoma election officials removed over 450,000 ineligible voters last week, including nearly 100,000 dead voters and 5,000 felons. Two weeks ago, Texas announced removing 1.1 million ineligible voters during “routine roll maintenance.”

Around the same time, Virginia’s Glenn Younkin announced removing 6,300 noncitizens from its voter rolls. And Alabama’s Secretary of State Wes Allen announced his office discovered over 3,000 potential noncitizens registered to vote.

Republicans have not been asleep at the election integrity switch. They’ve just been waiting to spring into action when it was too late for cheaters to develop new tactics. That time is now, and it is happening. Many cheating plans are being disrupted, and its making them into very frustrated and cranky cheaters.

Progress!
