The GOP made similar cases in both Michigan and North Carolina, arguing that U.S. citizens who live overseas but have not resided in the state they would be voting in should not be allowed to vote. Both lawsuits were rejected in the states.

A judge in Michigan on Monday rejected an effort by the Republican Party to block some Americans who are living overseas from voting in the battleground state. The Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit earlier this month arguing that election laws in the state improperly allowed U.

Judge Sima Patel ruled the effort was mounted too close to Election Day, calling it an "11th hour attempt to disenfranchise" voters.
