Attorneys for Trump say Whitmer's directive "undermines the integrity of elections by increasing the opportunity for individuals to register to vote even though they are ineligible to do so."
Okay so there’s no real argument about why the RNC, DJT, and the MRP are bringing this lawsuit. It’s politically motivated and they are dicks trying to prevent people from voting.
With that said my lay reading of the Lawsuit (22 pages, pdf warning) leads me to believe that the lawsuit has merit; meaning that they may be correct that neither the Governor nor the Secretary of State have the unilateral authority to add or remove VRAs.
So yeah their motivation for the lawsuit is shitty but this is “Rule of Law” type stuff. We aren’t happy when Republican Governor’s pull this shit and we shouldn’t be giving Democrat Governor’s a free pass either.

Honestly, I disagree. I think this comment rings true, that their motive is even more ulterior than just stopping veterans from registering to vote:
I believe this is about making as much of the election go through the corrupt court system as possible. They want this election decided by judges.
In other words, they don’t just want people not to vote; they want the votes of people who do manage it to also not matter by manufacturing excuses for Heritage Foundation judges to throw them out wholesale.

Let’s apply the same standard, then.
Let it ride until after the election, and then apologize and correct the mistake.
Do you mean a half-assed non-apology and then say “Oh well, it’s done now”?
