Trump campaign sues Nevada over mail-in election bill
By Rory Appleton Las Vegas Review-Journal Updated August 5, 2020 - 7:26 am
The campaign of President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske over changes to the state’s general election plan passed by the Legislature on Sunday.
Trump’s campaign, the Republican National Committee and Nevada State Republican Party filed the lawsuit in Nevada District Court Tuesday evening. They allege several provisions of Assembly Bill 4, the election changes adopted by the special session on Sunday, “lack clear standards to guide the actions of county and city officials administering certain parts of Nevada’s elections.”
Trump and his Republican allies had threatened such litigation against the state throughout AB4’s adoption process.
Their lawsuit includes many of the Republican attacks leveled against enhanced voting by mail and the collection of another’s ballot with permission of the voter, commonly referred to as ballot harvesting. Specifically, the Republicans allege compromised election integrity and increased risk of fraud. read more at Las Vegas Review-Journal

Mail-In Ballots Are a Recipe for Confusion, Coercion, and Fraud
By JOHN FUND May 10, 2020 8:29 PM. NATIONAL REVIEW
So, naturally, Democrats are pushing to have them sent to every voter — or ‘voter.’Enormous pressure is being mounted to use our current crisis as an excuse to transform how we vote in elections.
“Coronavirus gives us an opportunity to revamp our electoral system,” Obama’s former attorney general, Eric Holder, recently told Time magazine. “These are changes that we should make permanent because it will enhance our democracy.”
The ideas Holder and others are proposing include requiring that a mail-in ballot be automatically sent to every voter, which would allow people to both register and vote on Election Day. It would also permit “ballot harvesting,” whereby political operatives go door-to-door collecting ballots that they then deliver to election officials. All of these would dramatically reduce safeguards protecting election integrity. read more
