  1. > On Friday, the RNC, along with Donald Trump’s campaign, the Nevada GOP, and a Nevada voter, filed a federal lawsuit against election officials in the battleground state seeking to stop the counting of mail-in ballots received after Election Day. Under current Nevada law, mail-in ballots received up to four days after Election Day can be counted if they are postmarked before the end that day.

  2. “You cannot have ballots counted, Maria, after elections are over”

    Jesus Christ. 

  4. It seems to me they tried this before and it got rejected. Once more into the pot.

  6. Don’t the election rules I’m most states say that no votes can be counted until the elections are over?

  7. I don’t understand how you can continue to call this nation United States…
    Fifty states with different laws, with their own supreme courts.
    Hey don’t try to understand!
    Yes you’re right

  8. Difference between Biden and Trump is that if Trump needed DeJoy gone, he’d be gone. And here we are four years later and nothing done about DeJoy. Boston Marty got on the board, but doubt that fixed the DeJoy problem. 

  10. > The lawsuit argues that Nevada’s election laws conflict with federal laws that establish “a uniform, national day” to hold elections by counting mail-in ballots that are received up to four days after Election Day and presuming that ballots received up to three days after that day **have been postmarked on or before Election Day.**

    So yeah, they still have to vote by election day, you lying pieces of shit.

  12. The plan to give all incoming donations to her father-in-law?

  13. I love this. RNC and many state parties are broke. Brokity, broke, broke. In Michigan the GOP is in a civil war.

    And Lara’s decided the thing to do is lawsuits to stop counting the votes. Over 80 court actions in 25 states.

    Remarkable.

  16. Never took her seriously before, but that’s a seriously villainous smirk she’s sporting in that pic.

  18. Voter suppression is the GOP strategy, on full display here.

  20. Attempting to stop votes even before the election begins.

    What a fucking fascist piece of shit.

  21. So, the logical extension of this notion is no votes can be counted after midnight on election day. We’ll just count heavily GOP districts first, starting around, say, 23:00.

  23. I guess the new RNC campaign slogan is give until it hurts!! (YOUR FEARLESS LEADER NEEDS YOUR MONEY AND HE’S GOING TO GET IT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER?)

  24. Man… isn’t it obvious to people that the GOP is just a bunch of *documented* liars, cheats and frauds now?

    I wish US TV news media -on both sides- didn’t suck so much.

  25. How much backlash will it take before it turns into a full on all front assault on these clowns.

    I’m struggling here. They just say and do crazy shit. People whine and clutch pearls for 48 hours and then it’s like it never happened. That is of course until they say or do some other crazy shit that same week and then it is a rinse and repeat.

    When will it be enough?

  26. So if you’re going to vote by mail, *please* take it straight to the post office as quickly as possible. 

    But also, a ton of old, retired people vote by mail. Before 2020, it was almost exclusively old, conservatives that did it. Isn’t this shooting themselves in the foot a little?

  29. She’s had some bad plastic surgery.

    Pathetic these 42-year-old women like her frantic to stay 35 forever because they have nothing else going for them.

  30. Isn’t this just obstruction again? I find it insane that the sane people in this country are letting it slide by. This is the same BS where they said, stop counting then count all the votes.
    Delusional people

  31. “The result of Nevada’s violation of federal law is that timely, valid ballots are diluted by untimely, invalid ballots, which violates the rights of candidates, campaigns, and voters under federal law,” the suit argues.

    They say it out loud here, mail in votes are ‘invalid’ and ‘dilute’ the GOP election day vote.

    Apparently it somehow takes away voters rights, they don’t specify how, so their solution is to take away other voters rights.

  32. How can you objectively defend this shit? It is clear as day Republicans do everything they can to make it harder to vote and cancel our legit ways to vote.

  34. Why does she look like a villain from Team America World Police?

  35. She needs to get some family values and go look after her brood instead of kissing FILs ass

  36. Historical more democrats vote by mail than republicans and Dejoy is still postman general (appointed by Trump) that removed mail sorting machines , cut out all overtime, slowed the mail right before the 2020 election. The GQP ,RNC and tRump are trying to rig the votes counted again

  38. $500 million she wants to collect. Is that before or after Donald trumps legal bills are paid?

  39. She’s evil but I also think too dumb to pull this off

  40. How this election is in a dead heat, according to the polls, is unbelievable. Trump should be 10-15 points behind in my opinion

  42. Democrats lose an election: Gee, what went wrong? How can we improve our message?

    GOP lose an election: How can we prevent so many people from voting?

    Choice is easy people! Democrats may not be perfect but at least they care about EVERYONE

  43. Vote for the party and candidates taking care of your benefits and wallet. If you are not a multimillionaire, republicans are not helping you or your wallet.

  44. Don’t most states allow ballots postmarked before the election to be counted even if they arrive after election day.

  45. In a Friday RNC press release announcing the lawsuit, chairman Michael Whatley said: “Nevada’s ballot receipt deadline clearly violates federal law and undermines election integrity in the state.”

    Just about any attorney will tell you that when someone uses “clearly” to state their argument, it means they have a pretty weak argument and are trying to bolster it.

  47. Trump got 32% of his 2020 vote from mail-in and absentee ballots.

    The RNC discrediting mail-in ballots seems like a stupid strategy.

  48. Anyone that doesn’t think they’re voting for their own liberty and freedom are kidding themselves
