RNC co-chairman Michael Whatley offered up no evidence or a smidgen of impropriety of possible wrongdoings when asked by FOX Business about their lawsuits in North Carolina over voting rights.

The RNC's plan for winning the election is to purge as many voters off voting rolls as possible -- hence, the lawsuits.

VARNEY: Quickly on this, you're suing the North Carolina elections board for allegedly allowing non-citizens to vote.

Is this all about voter ID?

WHATLEY: No, actually, there's a couple of different things in there. First off, we do want voter ID. We're very glad that we have that now in North Carolina. We're trying to make sure we have it in every single state. But we also want to make sure that only American citizens can vote.

It is a matter of federal law right now that only federal citizens can vote. We need the states to enforce it and that's what we're trying to push right now in multiple states around the country including North Carolina.

It is already illegal to vote in a federal election if you are not a US Citizen. What's the point of this nonsense? It's a setup for Trump to whine and fundraise about 'voter fraud by immigrants' when he loses. And it brings chaos and confusion to voters, which the RNC hopes will keep them home on Election Day.

WCNC in Charlotte reports:

State and national Republican Party leaders are suing the State Board of Elections again, days after the board criticized GOP leaders for filing a lawsuit based on what the board called "categorically false" allegations about the potential for voter fraud.

"If a voter does not have a driver’s license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number populated in the voter registration database, that does not necessarily mean that they were allowed to register improperly ... and even if voters failed to provide either their driver’s license or last-four digits of their Social Security numbers when they registered, just like voters whose information did not match between databases, those voters would have been required to show another type of ID before voting."
