The withdrawal of more than 3,400 challenges right after the GOP's successful election indicates that these voter eligibility objections were largely baseless, according to voting rights groups.
Officials across various counties reaffirmed that the challenges posed were without merit, with emergency hearings concluding that they added unnecessary pressure on electoral processes.
Most of the late-filed challenges targeted U.S. citizens living abroad, raising questions under the federal voting act, but were categorized as bad-faith efforts.
Counties, after the withdrawal of the challenges, rescinded planned public hearings, reflecting the shift in focus from defending against challenges to election management.
