Nevada Supreme Court Upholds Mail Ballot Rules

The Nevada Supreme Court has ruled that mail-in ballots without postmarks can be counted up to three days after Election Day, affirming a lower court decision that emphasized the importance of counting all eligible votes. This ruling dismisses a lawsuit from the Republican National Committee (RNC) and former President Trump's campaign, which sought to prevent the counting of such ballots, arguing it could lead to voter fraud. The court underscored that rejecting ballots due to postal service issues contradicts the public interest in voting rights. While the RNC highlighted potential disadvantages to their party, the court noted insufficient evidence of voter fraud. This decision adds to the ongoing legal debates over mail-in voting practices as the election approaches, particularly in key battleground states like Nevada. The ruling reflects a broader trend of legal challenges surrounding voting regulations as various states navigate post-pandemic election processes.
