President Donald Trump urged Republicans to take unspecified legal action on Aug. 2, hours before Nevada’s Democratic-controlled Legislature rushed through sweeping changes allowing voting-by-mail and ballot harvesting in the Nov. 3 election.
Nevada is considered a battleground state. The Silver State, which has six electoral votes out of the 270 required to elect the president, was hotly contested in 2016. In that year’s presidential election, Democrat Hillary Clinton won 47.9 percent of the popular vote in the state, besting Republican Donald Trump, who won 45.4 percent, Ballotpedia reports.
