Federal Judge Delivers Crushing Defeat to Republicans in Nevada Mail-In Ballot Lawsuit In a major blow to Republicans, a federal judge has dismissed their lawsuit challenging Nevada's law that allows mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted even if they arrive up to four days later. This law, enacted in 2021, was attacked by the GOP, who argued it was unconstitutional and skewed the playing field in favor of Democrats[2][4][8]. But the judge wasn’t having any of it. The ruling made it clear that the plaintiffs lacked the standing to even bring the challenge, and there was zero evidence to back up claims that this ballot-counting deadline gave Democrats an edge or disadvantaged any voters[2][4]. This defeat is a significant setback for Republicans, who have been aggressively targeting mail-in voting rules across the country, insisting that such practices violate federal law and could stretch the election timeline beyond the official Election Day[3][4]. Despite this crushing loss, the Republican National Committee is not ready to give up. They’ve signaled that they’ll continue fighting in court, determined to keep challenging these voting laws[2][3]. But for now, Nevada’s mail-in ballot rule stands strong, leaving Republicans licking their wounds after a stunning defeat in their ongoing battle over how votes are counted[2][3].
