The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Nevada, argues that the law signed by Sisolak, would essentially mean that voters no longer must weigh in before Election Day and that vote counting delayed as a result of possible U.S. Postal Service sluggishness would prolong elections beyond a reasonable time frame.
The Nevada law"contravenes those valid federal laws by requiring elections officials to accept and count ballots received after Election Day even when those ballots lack objective evidence that voters cast them on or before Election Day," the lawsuit states."In short, AB4 effectively postpones and prolongs Nevada’s 2020 general election past the Election Day established by Congress.
The suit argues that because some counties in Nevada preside over elections, residents' votes could be treated differently depending on where they live. The claim also outlined the president's own concerns with mail-in voting that, despite his own use of absentee ballots, they invite fraud. It cites examples of ballots found in the trash and stuffed haphazardly in mailboxes. Voter fraud in Nevada, the suit claims, is"inevitable."
Trump is trying to use this covid-19 virus to his political advantage by shutting down mail-in voting, this guy is a criminal
MeetThePress But it’s ok for Florida to do it?
MeetThePress
Nevada can manage Casinos and Voting.
Trump sues everyone who doesn't bend to his will. Trump's antics have gotten old. He conducts himself like a spoiled toddler. Behaviors such as Trump's are counter-productive. The states have the authority to conduct their elections as they see fit. His approval means nothing!
Remember the headline “Nearly 200,000 Florida Voters May Not Be Citizens”? The initial list of 180,000 names was whittled down to 207, but that number should be ZERO in an election. With all mail-in ballots the numbers will be higher than ever before.
MeetThePress The American people are sick of the constant attacking of our President
Counter sue.
The Whitehouse staff and President Trump will do anything to win this election in November 2020. If he could stop it he would, I have a new and big suggestion for him, DON'T RUN.
MeetThePress How are Americans gonna get their stimulus checks if Trump doesn’t trust the competence of the post office?
Wasting everyone’s time and money. TrumpIsNotWell
Loves to tell people what they can, can’t do- what about it Nevada
This man is insane , local and state governments are literally drowning in Covid related disasters they are doing everything in their power to keep their citizens alive and now they have to worry about lawsuits from the President of The United States
MeetThePress I hate this guy in principle!
His entire life was embroiled in lawsuits left and right. Now he’s running the country just like ran his businesses. The current state of the union is no surprise.
Trump voters should not vote in protest to rigged elections. Support President Trump! Refuse to vote! It's rigged anyway so don't bother to vote! If you love President Trump don't vote!
If it was in his personal interest you wouldn’t hear a word from realDonaldTrump Truth is.....he’s scared to death. Doing everything to discredit the process in advance to support his narcissistic personality. DumpTrump2020 cnnbrk
MeetThePress As usual that's a lawsuit that Trump will loose.
Trump is the ‘sewer’ President....
And the courts will side with him.
Yeah, stop it in Nevada while encouraging it in Florida where Republicans think it will help them!
MeetThePress States who haven't had massive mail in voting have no idea how many ballots will be laying around undelivered. We don't know if the USP can handle the increase in demand. There will be no chain of custody of the ballots, increasing possible fraud. It will be a contested election
Trump has misused the courts to cover his frauds his entire life. We long for the day when a court finally pulls off his covers and puts him away for good.
MeetThePress This is unamerican. I hate the bastard.
MeetThePress
but he just said it was ok to do in Florida. smh
He never threats it is a promise just like all the ones he's kept since he was elected. FIRST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY TO KEEP HIS PROMISES that's why the DNC and MSM don't stand a chance of beating him this time.
Hopefully this will be laughed out of the court...states control their own election rules.
MeetThePress
NBC! COME ON! As the President supports Florida to conduct “Mail-In Ballots”... This President is very indecisive as he threatens to SUE Nevada for the SAME THING! You have to ask yourself, is this President Mentally Capable of Holding Office?
FLORIDA! ALL GOOD! BLUE LEANING STATE? CORRUPT!
GREAT as someone who lives here the sneaky late night special session to pass this partisan legislation needs stopped. If you can shop you can vote
Good news
He’s not even trying to hide his attempt at voter suppression.
Love how the 'we need to provide liability protections for business so they can't get sued' covid-19 party is also the, 'Fuck your state trying to do something sensible with its constitutionally protected powers, we're suing!' Also, Oregon.
He likes losing lawsuits doesn't he
Trump is so desperate and paranoid about a very simple voting process.
If mail in voting is allowed to happen, it will be a train wreck in slow motion.
Triggered trump is pathetic
While he allows FLORIDA TO VOTE BY MAIL!! GOP 25 HIM NOW!!
Trump's gonna take another big L in court over this.
Traitor
America thanks you, President Trump!!!
The trump campaign should be audited. How much campaign money has trump & family pocketed.
The only valid vote is a Trump vote. All other ballots are fake and fraud. 4 billion more years.
Can 'We the People' sue him for infringing on our rights as citizens to vote?
Oy.... 🙄 what a hypocrite
Things can go wrong with mail in balloting such as vote harvesting and intimidation, post office delays, signature verification, discarding improper ballots and outdated voter roles. Thousands of deceased and relocated voters are still on the rolls. truth
This Administration and the Republican Party are now openly suppressing the American vote. By actions of slowing down USPS deliveries and then suing the State over absentee voting. And they don't care.
The most important protest you can attend this year is exercising your American right to vote in person!
He’s too stupid to realize he’s gonna lose Florida too. Hahahaha.
Waste of time Donnie. Its a loser.
realDonaldTrump Several states already vote by mail Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah and Washington. A pandemic makes it a life and death choice. Let Americans choose!Personally, having a paper ballot gives me time to research candidates and choose someone who shares my values.
realDonaldTrump Putin can’t hack paper ballots!
I’ve been saying it for 3 years.. all Don and Moscow Mitch have done is fill the court benches with unqualified and unbiased judges that will pander to their policies and illegal processes. WAKE UP PEOPLE, November 3rd is huge !!
Lawsuits - not his strongest
Counter sue
Florida on the other hand. Which he desperately needs. Is ok to vote by mail.🤷🏻♂️
When will we just kick this guy out ... unbelievable what we allow this moron to do
But Trump has voted by mail....🤷🏼♀️
Nevada fraudulent election would be invalid.
Oh I see, it’s alright for Trump to ask the Republican supporters to cast their votes by mail-in ballots? Then why is Trump threatening to sue Nevada for doing the same thing? Trump’s unapologetic for what he does. 😡
Happy Suing Day! Coming to a state near you thanks to 45. He wants to run the country and the USPS. To keep corruption down this November. votehimout. By mail, he can’t STOP IT.
We are entering in another health crisis,the flu is coming, more people sick, asthma and children with bronchiolitis. We still living on the pandemic crisis. It is going to really exposes more citizens to get sicker. Lord we need to reach common sense. We do have a health crisis
Even conservative judges will throw this out.
I believe trump will lose this one, also. If the judge is fair.
Why everything in realDonaldTrump world ends on lawsuits. Everything is delayed by suing? How much money we will continue to pay for all his suing team layers enable to keep obstructing our own states laws. He continues to lead this Country to more chaos. We are on a pandemic
Citizen voters priority in Nevada should be maintaining there ability to choose election winners .not for one party communistic dominance
Let them sue and lose i hope biden takex executive action to make trump campaign pay all outstanding debts to cities and pay ALL LOSES from these unneeded court cases.
When a president is scared of people voting he is admitting he is doing a bad job
well, he's gonna lose, again.
NV bad, FL good! OK, Captain SuperSpreader.
Every single state should immediately implement mail-in voting as an option. Every voter must have that as an option.
Need atack china , then Say Trump love xi . End game . Bullish . See now market .
I think this treasonist likes to scream out put me in jail and hang me like Epstein and all those other inhumane savage things that blow our minds in the right(wrong) way. WHAT'S WRONG AMERICA? EVERYTHING IS GREAT, DON'T WEAR A MASK NO MATTER WHO DIES. THAT IS PATHETIC.
DictatorTrump trying to steal the election. GOPCorruptionOverCountry
SteveBrant There are other 5 states that already planning to vote by mail. By end of the month more than half of the states will be getting ready to vote by mail because Coronavirus is still ravaging the country. trump is an idiot and a loser!
the entire Nation should be suing you for impersonation of government official and conspiracy with treason even if four treasonists decided, hell yeah this is great , during IMPEACHMENT.
BlueSkyDays17 Post photos of the court documents or it didn't happen
SteveBrant He is president Mayhem. He loves chaos and he's gonna continue this craziness till after election. He's never looking for solution for the country but instigate Mayhem.
Just a few questions on mass mailing of ballots: How many deceased voters will get ballots; how may people who have move out of Nevada get ballots; how many households will get several ballots and only one voter remains at that address.
BlueSkyDays17 Less time on the minutiae more time on the 🦠. The deal is done, Donnie Boy. We know there are maskholes but it’s not going to keep us from voting you out of the People’s House. MaskUp VoteLikeYourLifeDependsOnIt BECAUSE IT DOES. ByeDon2020 is in full swing. Mail or no mail.
I bet he’s going to try sue the U.S. on the next election when he loses.
Let the cherry-picking begin! Florida loves me, they’re ok, Nevada looks pro-Democrat, not ok, sue them! 🙄 RIGGEDELECTION
Coward
I think he's targeting Nevada because of the gambling. There's a lot of tricky card sharks and gamblers who will figure out a way to game the system.
This Administration is like no other in our Nation's history -- just mind boggling!
Trump likes to sue. TrumpIsALaughingStock TrumpIsALoser TrumpIsLosing
no longer Donald trump; new name Sue trump!
But it’s ok for Florida?!?! Wtf?!
Voter suppression. Anti constitution
Against the law. Voter suppression
President can not interfere with a state’s decision on how it runs its voting system. Will the courts find Nevada in violation of the Constitution and not the fives states that already have such voting? Can Trump be so dense and vindictive as to say yes to Florida; No to Nevada?
A nuisance president files a nuisance lawsuit. The state of Nevada doesnt have enough problems they now have to deal with t-rumps nuisance lawsuit. With little donnie it is, always has been, and always will be just about him. Proud gop? RETURN AMERICA TO SANITY. Dump donnie&gop!
I wonder if Trump has ever been in court room probably not, let's lawyers appear for him and tax payers to pay the bill.
If his eyes were any closer together he'd be a Cyclops
Wait. I thought he told another state voting by mail is okay? I'm CONFUSED. 🙄
Ironic that he’s arguing that it’s unconstitutional since he’s never actually read the document. Shameful that his pacifiers have filed this frivolous suit on his behalf. Wonder what specific constitutional principle he claims is violated. TrumpIsDesperate
Meloniemaher1 I hope Nevada then sues Florida given Trump is happy for FL to vote by mail because he thinks he will win there.
So looks a looser
He sued a state over how they’re voting, when the voting is perfectly legal? For the love of god and all things sane..WTF man
Trump’s such a hypocrite! He’s now saying that it’s fine for Florida to vote by mail & encouraging them to do so.
Did no one in his cadre bother to tell him that how states conduct elections is entirely up to the states? It's well established precedent with plenty of case law to support this. However, the more money he wastes suing Nevada is less money he has to spend on commercials.
As if the Federal Govt has any say in how states decide to vote....lol
“The Office of the President”—used to mean something...
It’s like Kafka’s “Metamorphosis,” but with a toad.
That’s his only plan...suing anything and anybody to suppress the votes...he doesn’t have a platform...no vision to make America better...his only goal is to bankrupt America like he did his Casinos..
Trump beginning his effort to build a dictatorship through bullying and intimidation. — Trump’s campaign = Trump, nothing happens without his ok
“This is yuge problem”
Dictator
Suing to stop people from voting. It’s funny he doesn’t sue any of the women who accused him of sexual assault and rape.
gop supporters are mostly old people. they wont be alive for the next election if they get the virus. but gop people have no iq so
Incredible
Trump: “They’re voting, stop them! I don’t want to go to prison!”
He is so freaking ridiculous. We’ve been voting by mail for the longest time and now all of a sudden it’s a problem. He goes around suing everybody get a new hobby.
Evil man😡
So Trump is fine with Florida having mail in ballots, but not Nevada, because why? He lost tons of support there? TrumpVirus
The worst man of the century!!
