A Federal Judge has Dismissed a Lawsuit filed by, Trump's Re-Election Campaign and the GOP, that Challenges a New Nevada State Law sending Ballots to All Active Voters amid the Coronavirus Pandemic. In-Active Voters will have to Request the Mail-in-Ballot Form.
The Lawsuit lacks Standing, according to U.S. District Judge, James C. Mahan, in a Order Dismissing the Lawsuit.
Nevada Secretary of State, Barbara Cegavske, asked a Judge to Dismiss the Lawsuit in August. Though Cegavske (R) Opposed the New Law and said her Department did Not have the Budget for the Changes. She serves as the State's Top Elections Official and was Named in the Lawsuit by the Trump Campaign and Republicans and is now Defending the New Law in Court.
Trump's Campaign and National and State Republicans filed the Lawsuit in Nevada to try to Stop the New Law, contending it would Undermine the Election's Integrity.
Cegavske's Attorneys asked a Judge to Dismiss the Lawsuit and contended that the Lawsuit Addresses a Policy Debate that should occur Outside of a Courtroom. The Filing also said the Trump Campaign and Republicans who Filed the Suit don't have Legal Standing to make their Argument and don't explain how they'd be Harmed by Changes in the Law.
Nevada's Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak, in August Signed the Law Passed by the Democratically Controlled Legislature that made the State among several that Plan to Automatically Mail Ballots to Active Voters this November. "Active" Voters are Generally Voters with a Current Address on File with Local Elections Officials.
