Trump Vows To Sue Nevada For “Illegal” Mail-In-Voting

The Washington Post reports:

President Trump threatened a lawsuit Monday after Nevada passed legislation Sunday to send mail-in ballots to all voters in response to the pandemic, claiming without evidence that the move was illegal and that Democrats were “using Covid” to win the election.

The tweet was Trump’s latest salvo directed at undermining confidence in mail-in balloting, which states are increasingly embracing in response to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. Last week, Trump floated the idea of postponing the presidential election as more states move in that direction.

In an illegal late night coup, Nevada’s clubhouse Governor made it impossible for Republicans to win the state. Post Office could never handle the Traffic of Mail-In Votes without preparation. Using Covid to steal the state. See you in Court! https://t.co/cNSPINgCY7

They can’t handle the mail-in ballots because you are telling the post office to slow down the mail service. You are the one rigging the election because you want less people to vote.

Mail-in votes are the same as absentee ballots. Trump and his entire family mail in their votes and will do so for this election. They just don’t want us the American people to mail in our votes because they want us to risk our lives with COVID-19 or not vote at all out of fear.
