Waynesboro GOP officials sue over Va.'s voting system, threaten to block election certification

Two GOP officials from Waynesboro have filed a lawsuit challenging Virginia’s voting system ahead of the Nov. 5 presidential election while threatening to not certify the results.

In their complaint, Curtis Lilly, the chairman of the Waynesboro Electoral Board, and Scott Mares, the board’s vice chair, are raising concerns about the validity of future results while echoing unmerited claims that the 2020 election, in which Democrat Joe Biden defeated then-President Donald Trump with more than 7 million votes, was stolen.

Filed on Oct. 4 at the Waynesboro Circuit Court against Virginia Department of Elections Commissioner Susan Beals and State Board of Elections Chairman John O’Bannon, the suit alleges that the voting machines used in the state are unverifiable and could potentially be manipulated.

The plaintiffs further claim the machines may be connected to the internet, allowing for external tampering, though this is illegal under state law and no evidence has been provided to support this allegation.

How do they know . And so they're taking their paranoid con theory and presenting it as a lawsuit ?

...I wonder if they were assigned that early slot or if it's up to all the various rightwingers to file their law suits whenever they feel it's time to?
