President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee are pumping more than $10 million into a legal campaign challenging Democratic voting-related lawsuits and building a massive Election Day operation.

The multi-million-dollar effort pits the two parties against each other on the issue of voting rights, with Democrats contending that they’re trying to make it easier for more people to cast ballots — and Republicans arguing that they must guard against potential fraud.

The new endeavor includes a legal challenge in Michigan, a key battleground state that Trump won by an extremely narrow margin over Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016.

The RNC and Michigan Republican Party filed a motion to intervene Wednesday night in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan Southern Division to join a lawsuit as defendants against Priorities USA.

The Democratic super PAC has filed multiple lawsuits in the state, including challenges to laws that restrict organizers from helping voters submit absentee ballots and make it a misdemeanor to organize vehicles to transport voters to their polling places unless the voters are “physically unable to walk.”

In the filing, the RNC and state Republican Party said the laws are “constitutionally valid statutes that the legislature has enacted to help structure and ensure the integrity of the electoral environment.”

2. 'Guy Cecil, chairman of Priorities USA, called it "shameful and un-American

for the RNC to spend millions of dollars disenfranchising voters across the country.”

“We will not stop fighting voter suppression efforts until every barrier to the ballot box in our most vulnerable communities is torn down,” he said in a statement to POLITICO. “We would rather spend our resources on voter registration and education but this fight was brought to us and we will fight it.”'
