    Trump Suit On Improper Early Voting In Nevada Gets Tossed

    The Trump campaign filed suit in Nevada claiming that people who had not been in line when the polls closed for early voting at that supermarket in a largely Hispanic are in Clark County were actually able to vote. Is this the beginning of the “grievance” phase of the Trump campaign?

    Of course, this kind of issue would never arise if we had a sane system of voting in this country and you didn’t have to wait in line for hours to cast your ballot.

    Here is a link to a story describing the suit​.

    Update: As expected, a judge tossed the suit​, noting, among other items, that the campaign had not exhausted its administrative remedies by going to the Secretary of State first. The frivolous nature of this suit, the fact that the campaign had not notified the Secretary of State of these potential violations, and the eagerness of the campaign to file the suit sure makes it look like Trump is determined to continue with the “rigged election” theme.
