A federal judge in Las Vegas on Sept. 18 rejected a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign against the State of Nevada over a law that expands mail-in voting, saying the campaign failed to show how it could be harmed by the law.

Judge James Mahan dismissed the lawsuit that was filed against Republican Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske by the Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee (RNC), and the Nevada Republican Party last month. RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said at the time that the suit sought to “stop implementation of Democrats’ radical election abuses” in the state.
