A lawsuit filed against the state’s Republican Party to ban mass voter challenges was suspended Monday. The Republican Party has promised not to seek mass voter challenges at polling sites on Election Day. If a voter’s eligibility is challenged at the polls, they’ll have to cast a provisional ballot. Secretary of State Kurt Browning says if either party challenges a voter they better have a good reason.

“Any voter stands the possibility of being challenged. The law provides that frivolous challenges shouldn’t be made. As a mater of fact it might be a crime to file a frivolous challenge. Any watcher out there regardless of political party needs to be very, very careful when they, if they state to file challenges against any voters that go to the polls tomorrow,” said Browning.

Both parties will have poll watchers in voting sites on Election Day.
