Trump campaign sues Nevada over mail-in voting bill

The Trump campaign sued Nevada to stop legislation that would expand mail-in voting ahead of the 2020 election.

The campaign, in conjunction with the Republican National Committee and the Nevada Republican Party, filed the lawsuit Tuesday night against Republican Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, arguing that the Nevada bill, which Gov. Steve Sisolak, a Democrat, is expected to sign, is unconstitutional.

They are seeking a permanent injunction prohibiting the state from implementing and enforcing the bill and a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction while the litigation plays out.

The lawsuit, which was filed two days after the president threatened litigation, claims that the bill which would permit the state to mail all active ballots to voters before the election over coronavirus concerns, "lacks integrity" and puts "results in chaos."
