Mail-ballots lawsuit filed by Trump, GOP against Nevada dismissed by federal judge
Trump's reelection campaign that challenges a new state law sending ballots to all active voters amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The lawsuit lacks standing, according to U.S. District Judge James C. Mahan in a Sept. 18 order dismissing the lawsuit.
Nevada's Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak in August signed the law passed by the Democratically controlled Legislature that made the state among several that plan to automatically mail ballots to active voters this November. Trump's campaign filed the lawsuit within days of Sisolak's signing.
Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske asked a judge to dismiss the lawsuit in August. Though Cegavske – a Republican – opposed the new law and said her department did not have the budget for the changes, she serves as the state's top elections official and was named in the lawsuit by the Trump campaign and Republicans and is now defending the new law in court.
