The Republican National Committee filed another election-related lawsuit against Democratic Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson over her enforcement of signature verification law. The lawsuit‚ filed on Thursday‚ says that Benson directed local election officials before the February 2024 presidential primary election to presume that an absentee voter’s signature was legitimate. The RNC described this directive as “secret instructions” that were given “outside the public eye.” “Michigan’s State Constitution is very clear: election officials have to verify the identity of voters casting absentee ballots‚” RNC Chair Michael Whatley said in a statement. “Jocelyn Benson is yet again working to undermine election integrity by secretly instructing officials to disregard and circumvent these clear requirements. The RNC is suing Benson because Michiganders deserve election integrity‚ not underhanded Democrat schemes.” The lawsuit said that the presumption of validity undercut state law requiring verification of absentee ballot signatures. “While the Michigan Constitution expressly mandates that election officials ‘verify the identity’ of any voter who applies for an absent voter ballot or who votes an absent voter ballot other than in person by completing the signature comparison scheme outlined above‚ see Const 1963‚ art 2‚ § 4(1)(h)‚ the Secretary has instructed local election officials to apply a ‘presumption of validity’ to those signatures‚” the lawsuit says. The suit was filed in Michigan state court by the RNC‚ the Michigan Republican Party‚ the National Republican Congressional Committee‚ and several Michigan voters. The plaintiffs want Benson’s actions to be declared unlawful and they want a judge to make her retract her Signature Verification Instructions. Similar instructions from Benson before the November 2020 election were ruled “invalid” in March 2021 with a state judge saying that Benson had acted outside of the law. Michigan is again expected to be a hotly contested state with President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump gearing up for a rematch. Earlier this month‚ the RNC filed another lawsuit against Benson‚ accusing her office of maintaining inaccurate voter rolls. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP According to the lawsuit‚ at least 53 counties in Michigan have more active registered voters than adult citizens over the age of 18. According to the RNC‚ the number of counties with registration rates above 100% ballooned after 2020‚ when only one county had that rate. The suit also said that 23 counties have voter-registration rates of over 90% of eligible adults registered‚ which is far above the average national and statewide rate. Under Whatley’s leadership‚ the RNC hired two new election-focused lawyers‚ Charlie Spies‚ who will serve as the RNC’s chief counsel‚ and Christina Bobb‚ a Trump campaign lawyer who has challenged the outcome of the 2020 election.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed lefist Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador‚ known as AMLO‚ this week over his demand that the U.S. give billions of dollars to Latin American countries and assist Marxist regimes or else Mexico will continue to allow illegal aliens to flood the U.S. southern border. Cruz’s remarks come after AMLO claimed during an interview that aired on Sunday that he ended corruption in Mexico and that the hundreds of political assassinations that are carried out every year in his country are not a threat to democracy. AMLO demanded earlier this year that if the U.S. wanted help in combating the millions of illegal aliens entering through the southern border‚ the U.S. must give tens of billions of dollars per year to countries in Latin America‚ give work visas to 10 million illegal aliens in the U.S.‚ lift sanctions on socialist Venezuela‚ and end the embargo of communist Cuba. “Notice his demands. His demands are end the embargo against Cuba. And end the sanctions against Venezuela‚” Cruz said on his “Verdict” podcast. “He’s standing with communist dictators in Cuba and Venezuela‚” he said. “That’s who he aligns himself with is the hard-Left anti-American Communist axis through Latin America. That’s who AMLO is. So it’s not surprising. That’s who he’s always been.” “Is he trying to extort America? Of course‚” Cruz said before comparing AMLO’s remarks to the mob trying to shake down a business. “‘Nice little bar you got here‚ shame if something happened to it. Boy‚ a fire would do real damage.’ He said‚ ‘Well‚ we’ll keep these migrants coming. Unless you pay us off. Just you know‚ a bag of cash each week would be good. I’ll send my guys to pick it up.’” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Cruz said that AMLO — whose policy for dealing with drug cartels is “hugs not bullets” — is not afraid of President Joe Biden because Biden “is weak.” “Look‚ Marxist gonna Marxist. That’s who they are‚” he added. “He is going to engage in anti-American rhetoric. The only thing he responds to his strength. This Biden White House is not capable of strength against leftist‚ against enemies of America. They’re only capable of strength against our friends. They’re only capable of undermining allies of America.”

Texas has reportedly arrested another 70 of the migrants who stormed the El Paso border and assaulted National Guard members earlier this month. The 70 migrants have been arrested on misdemeanor rioting charges related to the March 21 incident‚ the New York Post reported Friday. The violent incident was caught on video‚ which shows a large group of adult male migrants tearing down fences with razor wire and pushing up against several National Guardsmen‚ eventually overwhelming them and rushing up to a tall border wall. Texas had already charged nine migrants on Wednesday who were allegedly involved in the assault. They face charges of inciting a riot‚ damaging property over $2‚500‚ and assault on members of the National Guard.

However‚ federal authorities “are not being as cooperative as Border Patrol‚” an official reportedly told the Post. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The majority of the migrants involved in the border rushing incident were men from Venezuela‚ according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. Just before the migrants rushed the border‚ National Guardsmen reportedly began directing the groups back toward Mexico‚ at which point they began to rush the soldiers. One migrant allegedly tried to grab a soldier’s firearm. Knives and shanks were also later reportedly confiscated from some of the migrants. In response to the migrants rushing the border‚ Governor Greg Abbott (R) deployed 200 tactical border force soldiers to El Paso‚ who arrived on Tuesday. Texas also recently installed more border wire in El Paso. The southern border has been in a state of crisis for years under the Biden administration. Last year‚ 2.5 million migrants were apprehended crossing or trying to cross the southern border‚ according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The administration has released more than 2.3 million border crossers into the country since 2021. Meanwhile‚ more than 96‚000 “known gotaways‚” migrants who were detected but not caught‚ have reportedly crossed the southern border just between October 1 and January. The border crisis has resulted also in tens of thousands of migrants descending on major cities like New York City‚ Chicago‚ Denver‚ Philadelphia‚ and Los Angeles. New York City has seen more than 183‚000 migrants show up since the spring of 2022. Chicago has seen more than 37‚000 migrants. Both cities have spent tens of millions of dollars on food‚ shelter‚ and other migrant-related costs.

Former President Donald Trump slammed President Joe Biden this week for being too weak to support law enforcement because his base won’t allow him to. Trump made the remarks after attending the wake of slain 31-year-old New York City Police Department officer Jonathan Diller‚ who was allegedly murdered by 34-year-old Guy Rivera. During a traffic stop‚ as Diller attempted to get Rivera to vacate the car‚ Rivera allegedly pulled out a handgun and shot Diller in the stomach. Rivera had 21 prior arrests and was released from prison in 2021 after serving five years for criminal possession of a controlled substance. “I think that politically he can’t support the police. I think he’s also making a mistake‚ but I think politically‚ his base won’t let him support the police‚” Trump said. “And I support the police‚ I would say at the highest level of any president by far‚ maybe double or triple. And they knew that. That’s why when I walked into that funeral parlor‚ it was — it was like love. It was just — they want to shy away from it. They didn’t even call the family. They could have called. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know even a call would be‚ perhaps — I’m not sure they would take his call.” Trump applauded everyone who turned out to show support for Diller and said that he enjoyed meeting Diller’s wife and grandmother. “When I was leaving‚ we’re driving down the road and it felt like we were driving for miles and there were men and women in blue‚” he said. “They were going for such a period‚ I said‚ ‘That’s a lot of people.’ It was a long blue line.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP WATCH: Trump says Biden’s “base won’t let him support the police” pic.twitter.com/CWHDWE0jgS — Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) March 29‚ 2024
