Overview

• Lara Trump, backed by the RNC, has initiated multiple lawsuits to prevent the counting of mail-in ballots after Election Day, claiming it ensures a 'free, fair, and transparent election'.
• Critics argue these moves could disenfranchise voters, including military personnel overseas, by not counting ballots postmarked by Election Day.
• Nevada's existing law allows mail-in ballots to be counted if received within four days post-election, a practice the RNC is challenging as unconstitutional.
• The lawsuits reflect a broader strategy by Republicans to question the integrity of mail-in voting despite increased partisan polarization over the issue.
• The legal battles are part of a nationwide push by the RNC, which is involved in numerous lawsuits across several states, to tighten election laws ahead of the 2024 presidential race.
