In latest attack on overseas voters, Republicans sue Virginia
A new lawsuit filed Monday by the Republican National Committee (RNC) seeks to strip voting access from a group of U.S. citizens living abroad. It’s the GOP’s latest move in its growing campaign against overseas voters.
The complaint targets a longstanding Virginia law that allows Americans living overseas to vote using a parent’s last address in the state — even if they themselves have never lived there.
The case mirrors — and expands on — similar Republican efforts in Michigan, Arizona and other states signaling a coordinated push to eliminate voting rights for certain overseas U.S. citizens ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Targeted in the lawsuits is a narrow but significant group: U.S. citizens born abroad, often to military families or Americans working overseas, who inherit voting rights from their parents and remain eligible to vote under state and federal law.
