True the Vote had already sued New Mexico over switching to mail in balloting only. Now, they are suing Nevada and Virginia. In Virginia, state law only allows for mail in balloting for the disabled. Ralph Northam got around that by declaring everyone in the state as disabled. That is not legal or ethical. What would he do if about two million Virginia residents all apply for disability? He has already said they are disabled.
Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote, said:
As more and more efforts are made across the country to mandate voting by mail, True the Vote is committed to ensuring Americans’ constitutional voting rights are upheld, that their option to vote at polling places is not taken away, and that proper security measures are in place to guarantee that all eligible votes are properly counted.
All Americans should be concerned by the radical changes being made to our election processes under the guise of public health related to the COVID-19 outbreak. The sudden shift to all-mail ballots is only part of what’s happening. They are stripping essential security measures, like Voter ID laws and signature verification; sending ballots to inaccurate addresses and ineligible voters; and counting ballots received after Election Day. While implementing appropriate public health safeguards is a priority, so too must be protecting the integrity of our elections.
In Nevada, True the Vote filed a preliminary injunction to challenge the Secretary of State’s imposition of universal mail-in balloting, where ballots are mailed wholesale to every registered voter without the legally required request, and Clark County’s decision to illegally mail ballots also to inactive voters and to hire illegal ballot harvesters.
In Virginia, according to an online press release, True the Vote filed a preliminary injunction to prevent the Virginia State Board of Elections from designating everyone in Virginia as “disabled” as a way to illegally allow voters to request absentee ballots, even though current law passed by the Virginia State Assembly prevents them from doing so. The action taken will result in “disenfranchisement of voters, since Virginia election officials are not equipped with the resources needed to handle a mass influx of mail ballots, and they do not have procedures in place to guarantee that all eligible voters will receive a ballot.”
