Conservative group seeks to stop June mail-in primary [in Nevada]

Source: Las Vegas Review-Journal

A conservative vote-monitoring group wants Nevada to do away with its plans to conduct a mail-in primary election in June, claiming it violates the U.S. Constitution and would open the state up to voter fraud.

Attorneys for True the Vote filed a lawsuit in federal court Tuesday challenging Republican Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske’s plans to shift to an all-mail primary amid fears of coronavirus spread.

In its complaint, the group says the plan “strips vital anti-vote-fraud safeguards” that exist with in-person voting which “allow local poll workers and watchers to monitor who is voting and deny voting and issues challenges if appropriate.”

Cegavske made the move to a mail primary due to increased risk and mitigation efforts regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Part of her plan includes opening up one in-person polling place in each county.

This article doesn't give any background about True the Vote. Reading DU and other progressive media over the years showed me the tactics of that group. Wikipedia has a comprehensive article about them.

Even though people have been voting by mail for decades, now it become another act of desperation by the Republican Party to screw up the fall election any way they can. The hypocrisy is mind boggling.

They have been and continue to be a cheese ball party that can only win by groveling in the gutter.
