The 1982 Republican National Committee consent decree that “effectively put the national party on the sidelines as concern about voter fraud became more and more pronounced” will stay in effect as is through 2017, as the US Supreme Court has declined an RNC petition to review the case. No change for election integrity proponents outside the RNC, who will continue to lead on “ballot integrity, ballot security or other efforts to prevent or remedy vote fraud,” including “normal poll watching.”
