The Republican National Committee and two Colorado officials sued Secretary of State Jena Griswold, alleging that Colorado's policy allowing overseas U.S. citizens to register based on family residency violates the state constitution. The lawsuit targets guidance enabling voters under the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act to register if their parent, spouse, or partner previously lived in Colorado, arguing residency cannot be established by proxy. Similar lawsuits have been filed in other states, with mixed judicial outcomes.
