Trump-loving Nevada Republican preparing "voter fraud" challenges -- 220 days before election


Nevada Republican Adam Laxalt, a candidate for U.S. Senate in this year's midterms, is already "vetting" outside groups to challenge supposed "voter fraud" in his election — roughly 220 days before it happens.

Laxalt, who was branded by local media as the "Nevada version of Rudy Giuliani" after leading Donald Trump's failed post-election legal challenges in the state, first began discussing "lawsuits we can file to try to tighten up the election" in September of 2021, claiming that the 2020 race had been "stolen" from Trump. Now Laxalt says he is fielding offers from outside groups to create "election observer" teams and lay out a legal strategy, even before he has even won the Republican primary.

"I don't talk about that, but we're vetting which group we think is going to do better," Laxalt told a voter at his campaign headquarters in an audio recording obtained by The New York Times.

Laxalt has falsely claimed that the only reason that Trump's legal challenges failed in the state was because they were filed too late. "The [Trump] campaign was late and the [Republican] party was late," he said. "So, it's just different now. There's a lot of groups that are saying there's election fraud." .............(more)

I hope people remember these claims if he were, by some chance, to win.

Take all this shit with voter intimidation and throwing out voter registrations to make the point the elections were rigged if we lose. The difference is, we have the proof.

I hear that a lot. What groups, saying what? How about a reporter asking what groups and saying what?

charges of voter fraud without support of real evidence. It’s way past time to put an end to this practice and all the waste of taxpayer money associated with it. Stop these people in their tracks.
