Trump’s Suit Over NV Ballots Tossed Over Lack of Fraud Proof


Trump’s Campaign Failed to Prove that Nevada’s Plan to Automatically Mail Ballots to All Registered Voters for the November Election will lead to Massive Fraud, a Judge said in Dismissing its Lawsuit.

The Allegation is “impermissibly speculative,” U.S. District Judge. James C. Mahan said in a Ruling in Las Vegas. “The state of Nevada has its own mechanisms for deterring and prosecuting voter fraud,” Mahan, an Appointee of President George W. Bush, said in the Decision.

The Ruling is the latest Legal Setback for Republicans, who have Sued or Intervened in Cases across the U.S. challenging Measures intended to Increase Mail-in-Voting during the Pandemic. In several Cases, judges have noted that Allegations of Rampant Fraud tied to Mail-in-Voting weren’t backed up with Evidence.

The Campaign cited Studies and News Articles on Fraud to make its Case, describing “a parade of administrative problems” with Mail-in-Voting Expansions in: Connecticut; New Jersey; New York; and Wisconsin, due to the Coronavirus Pandemic.

Trump’s Campaign also Claimed the Law Passed by the Nevada Legislature to Expand Mail-in-Voting during the Crisis would Dilute Valid Votes.

But Mahan said the Claims amounted to a “generalized grievance about the conduct of government.”

I would rather see States that are Not All-Mail Voting, to send Ballot Request Forms, then use the Undeliverable to Clean their Voter Rolls before Mailing Ballots.
