President Trump's re-election campaign follows through on his threats to sue Nevada over its plan to conduct the November election almost entirely by mail-in ballot.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Nevada, argues that the law signed by Sisolak, would essentially mean that voters no longer must weigh in before Election Day and that vote counting delayed as a result of possible U.S. Postal Service sluggishness would prolong elections beyond a reasonable time frame.
The Nevada law"contravenes those valid federal laws by requiring elections officials to accept and count ballots received after Election Day even when those ballots lack objective evidence that voters cast them on or before Election Day," the lawsuit states."In short, AB4 effectively postpones and prolongs Nevada’s 2020 general election past the Election Day established by Congress.
The suit argues that because some counties in Nevada preside over elections, residents' votes could be treated differently depending on where they live. The claim also outlined the president's own concerns with mail-in voting that, despite his own use of absentee ballots, they invite fraud. It cites examples of ballots found in the trash and stuffed haphazardly in mailboxes. Voter fraud in Nevada, the suit claims, is"inevitable."
