Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chair Lara Trump is making no secret of GOP plans for the 2024 election: They want to guarantee that millions of ballots aren’t counted in the hope that their efforts will hand the election to failed former president Donald Trump.
Speaking with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, Trump proudly announced that her party has filed suit in the state of Nevada to make it illegal for any votes to be counted after Election Day.
“You cannot have ballots counted, Maria, after elections are over,” Trump said. “And right now, that is one of the many lawsuits we have out across this country to ensure that just that happens, that we have a free, fair, and transparent election.”
“So in Nevada, as you pointed out, we are saying we want, on election day, that to be the last day that mail-in ballots can be counted. And we’ve been very successful in a lot of lawsuits.”
Similar efforts are taking place in the key swing state of Pennsylvania, Trump revealed.
“They wanted to take off dates from mail-in ballots, of course, the Democrats, in an effort to make it easier to cheat.”
So if a ballot isn’t counted on the day of the election, it should be thrown out, according to the GOP.
As HuffPost notes, the Republican effort is meant to undermine the 2024 election.
“The lawsuit filed by the RNC in Nevada doesn’t seek to stop counting ballots after Election Day, but rather seeks to prohibit counting any mail-in ballots received after that date, even if they were postmarked in time.
Under the state’s current law, ballots received up to four days after Election “Day are counted, as long as they are postmarked before the end of the day on Election Day.”
It didn’t take long for social media to explode with criticism of the RNC plan.
