DENVER (AP) — President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign is calling on Republicans to drop lawsuits targeting mail voting now that Donald Trump has embraced the method. The Republican National Committee has filed multiple lawsuits seeking to limit provisions of mailed ballots, including in states that allow ballots to arrive after Election Day as long as they were postmarked by then. For years, Trump has falsely alleging that mail voting is riddled with fraud. But Trump has started to urge his supporters to vote through the mail if it’s convenient for them. Republicans say there’s no contradiction between supporting mail voting and suing to make it more secure.
