The co-chair of the Republican National Committee, Lara Trump, announced on Sunday that the organization has initiated a new legal action in a swing state to safeguard the integrity of the election, following a significant victory in a different crucial state last month. During a conversation with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business, Trump revealed that the RNC has filed a lawsuit against Nevada in order to stop officials from tallying mail-in votes after election day.

“What are you doing with regards to suing Nevada right now?” Bartiromo asked.

“You cannot have ballots counted, Maria, after elections are over. And, right now, that is one of the many lawsuits we have out across this country to ensure that just that happens, that we have a free, fair, and transparent election,” Trump began. “So, in Nevada, as you pointed out, we are saying we want, on Election Day, that to be the last day that mail-in ballots can be counted.

“And we have been very successful in a lot of lawsuits. A couple of weeks ago, we won a big lawsuit in the state of Pennsylvania,” she continued. “They wanted to take off dates from mail-in ballots, of course, the Democrats, in an effort to make it easier to cheat. We pushed back on that. We won. And that set a precedent for the entire country.

“So whether it’s Nevada, whether it’s Pennsylvania, or whether it’s in New York City, where we actually just had a big win, they were trying to encourage 800,000 noncitizens to vote. We had a bipartisan effort led by the RNC. We won there. They are not going to be able to do that,” Trump added.

“And we are doing those things all across the country because we can’t be reactive. We have to be proactive. We have to look at this well ahead of Election Day and the election season that we now have in this country. We’re doing everything from the RNC to ensure that that happens,” she said.
