LAS VEGAS (AP) — Attorneys for President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign are urging a federal judge in Las Vegas to block a state law and prevent mail-in ballots from going to all active Nevada voters less than eight weeks before the Nov. 3 elections and amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The campaign argues in documents filed Tuesday in a bid to keep its lawsuit alive that it is hurt by the state law passed in July by the Democrat-led Legislature because it forces Republicans to divert resources to “educating Nevada voters on those changes and encouraging them to still vote.”

Thea McDonald, a spokeswoman for the Trump campaign, declined to comment Thursday about the lawsuit. Attorneys for the state did not immediately respond to messages.

The Trump campaign argues that sending ballots to nearly 1.7 million active voters in Nevada will impede Republicans’ ability to elect candidates “because the law will ‘confuse’ their voters and ‘create incentive’ to stay away from the polls." Mail-in ballots are due to be sent out in the next few weeks.

7. Of course they are

Grifters will grift, swindlers will swindle, and criminals will steal.
And their mark has to be softened up first.
Even after the judge rules against them, their mark (the voting public) is still softened up.

8. Wonder how many lawsuits they've got going?

reminds me of 'tort reform' and 'frivolous lawsuits'. I hate Republicans.
