Trump campaign will sue in Nevada, claiming votes by people who moved or who are dead

Source: CNBC

Donald Trump's campaign said it is filing a federal lawsuit in Nevada on Thursday seeking to block "illegal votes" from people, including those who became non-residents during the coronavirus pandemic or who are dead.

"We're asking the judges to go through all the irregularities to stop the counting" of the disputed ballots, said Adam Laxalt, a former Nevada Attorney General, who announced the lawsuit.

But when pressed for evidence of those alleged illegal ballots, a Trump campaign surrogate refused to answer reporters at a press conference, and said questions about the ballots should be directed to the Clark County, Nevada, clerk's office.

Joe Gloria, the Clark County Registrar of Voters, at a press conference later Thursday said that he is not aware of any improper ballots being counted.

Throw it all out and just GIVE it to the perpetrators?

Makes perfect sense...

The whole point is to muddy the waters. But, given time, mud settles. They may not like what is revealed.

If it was mailed or delivered before they died, then it should be legal. Just look at the number of people who have died during the election process. The way he was spreading the virus they could have been one of his MAGAts.

they actually had a photo of them mailing their vote before they died. It was denied. I think one died of COVID. I can't recall which state, but I was shocked their vote was denied.

Could it be that they have a Democratic Governor?
Stephen Sisolak

If the plan is to use their Republican State Governors to disregard the popular vote and approve their electors choice of Trump, he'd be one that wouldn't go along with that.

that he's in imminent danger of losing either PA, NC or GA.

Edited to add: Make that "He's in imminent danger of losing GA." Even Fox News says so:




And note that even Fox News has given Arizona to Biden!

He's counting on 265 with GA, NC and PA, then the NV court ruling.

I just can't be complacent about any of the counts. Biden's only ahead by 11,420 in NV right now; behind by 97,924 in PA, behind by 76,701 in NC, behind by 12,765 in GA.

I'm still on the ledge.
