Washington Post: Courts view GOP fraud claims skeptically as Democrats score key legal victories over mail voting
“The positive thing that we can say is that the majority of election officials in this country have moved to provide more access to the ballot,” said Sylvia Albert, director of Common Cause’s voting and elections program, on a call with reporters last week.
Albert said voters have benefited from a general shift toward mail voting this year but added that a clear winner in the legal battles has not emerged.
“I would actually say it’s a mixed bag, and that’s the reflection of the decentralization of our election system. So while state judges have actually found generally more in favor of expanding voting rights, federal courts have generally deferred to the wants of the local election officials,” she said.
