A recent complaint filed by the RNC and the Trump campaign aims to prevent Nevada from accepting mail-in ballots that arrive up to four days after Election Day. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada on May 3, challenges Nevada’s mail-in voting law, claiming it violates the 14th Amendment. The complaint seeks to stop the state from counting ballots received after Election Day or those postmarked after Election Day. Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar defended the state’s election process, emphasizing the importance of allowing working Nevadans to vote by mail. The lawsuit is part of the RNC’s broader efforts to ensure election integrity, with similar litigation ongoing in 25 states. The complaint alleges that counting ballots received after Election Day disproportionately harms Republican candidates and voters.
Approximately 1.4 million votes were recorded in that election.
