Republican National Committee Challenges Nevada's Mail Ballot Deadline

The RNC, along with former President Trump, files a lawsuit against Nevada for counting mail ballots received after Election Day, citing federal law violations.

  • The lawsuit targets Nevada's law that allows mail ballots to be counted up to four days post-Election Day, claiming it extends the federal election timeline.
  • RNC Chairman Michael Whatley argues that the practice undermines election integrity by potentially including ballots received beyond the designated day.
  • Nevada's Secretary of State defends the state's election procedures, emphasizing their security and accessibility, particularly for working residents.
  • This legal action is part of a broader strategy by the RNC, which has initiated similar lawsuits in other states and ramped up election-related litigation.
  • The controversy reflects ongoing national debates over mail voting policies, which have intensified since the 2020 presidential election.
