Republicans lose challenge over late-arriving mail ballots in Nevada

Published



The Nevada Supreme Court affirmed on Monday that absentee ballots arriving without postmarks can still be counted up to three days after Election Day if they were received by county election officials by Nov. 5.

Backers of the suit sought stricter adherence to Nevada’s absentee voting laws, especially in light of polls predicting a close race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in the state.
