Nevada governor signs mail-in voting bill after Trump threatens lawsuit
Rebecca Falconer


Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) announced Monday evening that he's signed a bill enabling all registered voters in the state to vote by mail in November's elections.

Why it matters: President Trump told reporters Monday he'd sue Nevada in a bid to stop the mail-in measure. After Sisolak's announcement, Trump retweeted his earlier tweet stating: "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!"

elections and that's what this bill does.

It's great to see that nobody's afraid of DT! I love that it probably pi**es him off big time!

Hmmm, they seem to do just fine with Christmas cards. Many families send out 40 or 50 cards each. They arrive within 3 days of the postmark. Strange how that works.
