Trump, RNC Sue Nevada Over Mail Ballot Deadline Post-Election Day

May 3, 2024, 08:35 PM

The Republican National Committee, former President Donald Trump's campaign, and the Nevada Republican Party have filed a lawsuit against Nevada's Secretary of State and several county clerks. The lawsuit challenges a state law that permits mail ballots to be accepted up to four business days after Election Day. The plaintiffs argue that this deadline violates federal law, which mandates specific Election Day deadlines. The state law currently allows ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if they are received within the four-day window.
