In 2021, Democrats in Nevada joined many of their other blue state allies in making sweeping changes to voting laws in the state. Among the more controversial edits was a rule that would allow ballots to be counted if they were received as much as four days after the election, depending on the postmark on the envelope. Now the RNC has filed a federal lawsuit against the state, demanding that the votes be counted on election day and no later. They claim that the rules in Nevada (as well as 18 other states) allowing the count of tardy ballots violates the constitution and federal law, though both of those assertions are questionable, to say the least. Given the vanishing number of days between now and November 5, this suit would need to proceed at a rapid rate if the RNC wants it to have any impact on the current cycle. (Associated Press)
