Lawsuits challenging voting practices in the battleground states of Virginia and Maine they claim are unfair were filed in federal courts over the past week as the Nov. 3 presidential election draws nearer.
In the 2016 election, Democrat Hillary Clinton won 49.7 percent of the votes in Virginia, compared to 44.4 percent by President Donald Trump. Clinton was awarded all 13 of Virginia’s votes in the Electoral College under that state’s winner-take-all system, out of the 270 needed nationwide to elect the president.
