NV Republicans Lose Legal Fight Over Mail Ballots

On Wednesday, a Federal Judge Dismissed a Lawsuit filed by National and Nevada State Republicans that aimed to Bar the State from counting Mail Ballots received up to Four days after Election Day.

The Case, brought by the Republican National Committee (RNC), the Nevada Republican Party, and Trump's Campaign, alleged that Nevada's Electoral Law, Violates Federal Law and gives Democrats an Unfair advantage.

In the Order filed Wednesday, the Court stated, "Plaintiffs lack standing to challenge the Nevada mail ballot receipt deadline and dismisses this case for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction."

Nevada's current Electoral Law, passed by Democrats in 2021, allows Election Officials to Tally Bballots received by 5 p.m. on November 9th, as long as they are Postmarked by November 5th, Election Day. If the Envelopes are Not clearly Postmarked, they must be received by 5 p.m. Three Days after the Election.

The Judge wrote, "The causal link between counting mail ballots received after Election Day in Nevada and Organizational Plaintiffs' alleged electoral injuries is too speculative to support standing."

The Republican-backed Case argued that Democrats are more likely to Vote-by-Mail, and to Vote later, making them more likely to cast Mail Ballots received after Election Day.

"Even if the first two points have been adequately pled—which is not altogether clear—it does not necessarily follow that mail ballots arriving after Election Day will skew Democratic," the Judge wrote, adding, "And even if later-arriving mail ballots have favored Democrats past elections, it is far from guaranteed that Nevada voters will behave similarly this November."

In a Statement, Claire Zunk, the RNC's Election Integrity Spokesperson, maintained that the Post-Election Day Mail Ballot Deadline still Breaks Federal Law, and that "a liberal judge unjustifiably dismissed our case."

"We are committed to protecting the ballot, and we will pursue further legal action in this case," Zunk added.

The Legal move comes just under Four Months before Election Day in a Key Swing State that President Biden narrowly Won by 33,500 Votes in 2020, against Trump. The State carries 6 Electoral College Votes.
