x-Clinton lawyer threatens to sue Nevada unless ballot harvesting permitted

A prominent Democratic lawyer who represented Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign is threatening to sue the state of Nevada unless it immediately suspends prosecutions for ballot harvesting before the June 9 primary, among a slew of other demands, according to a letter obtained by Fox News on Tuesday.

Marc Elias, now representing the Nevada Democratic Party, also called for a substantial expansion to in-person voting access in the upcoming primary — though just days ago, he said it was a "national disgrace" that Wisconsin was moving ahead with in-person voting amid the coronavirus pandemic. (In both cases, he cited health concerns.) Democrats had feared that high turnout in Wisconsin would hurt their chances, while they have a more optimistic outlook in Nevada.

Writing on April 10 to Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske, a Republican, Elias first took aim at Nevada Revised Statutes section 293.330(4), which prohibits ballot harvesting and permits only certain individuals, like family members, to return ballots. Ballot harvesting, or the practice of allowing political operatives and others to collect voters’ ballots and turn them in en masse to polling stations, has drawn bipartisan concerns of fraud from election watchers.

In his letter, Elias argued that "many Nevada voters will not be able to return their mail-in ballots themselves and do not have family members – or are separated from these family members because of social distancing – who can do so for them."

"We ask that your office and the office of the Nevada Attorney General immediately announce a suspension of prosecutions under this statute for all elections for which mail-in balloting will be the primary means of voting in the state," Elias said.

At the same time, Elias called for Nevada to stop throwing out ballots when signatures on voters' ballots appear different from those on

Its worse than that if they require mail in voting.

The Republican ballots will simply end up in the trash.

Their is no chain of custody for the ballots or any type of voter identification in this system. At that point the US is not longer a democracy or republic of any sort.

I have not been impressed with Ducey at all. I can hardly wait to see who runs from both parties in the next gubernatorial election.

I agree, do you see anyone capable in the wings?

The Democrats are serious about. vote fraud. They probably have people filling out the ballots now. Around three days after election day, they will start turning them in by the thousands, if not millions.

I don’t and haven’t heard of anyone either.

I would love to see someone such as Sal DiCiccio run but he’s content being on City Council.

They don’t even try to hide it now. A Republican loses because of fraud, Posters will post, He/ she lost because he/she ran a poor campaign. And the media will report no proof of fraud.

That they are. That is why they are not worried about November or how bad their guys are. They have plans to steal the election. The only question remaining to be answered is how do they plan to steal it.

IF YOU GET YOUR MAIL IN BALLOT IN THE MAIL-—
Then it can be RETURNED in the mail.

I don’t need ANYONE to come & Harvest MY BALLOT.

In fact, strangers are not allowed on this property-—and I DON”T call 911.
