Trump campaign lawsuit alleges former Nevada residents voted illegally

President Trump’s campaign announced Thursday that it will file a federal lawsuit alleging that as many as 10,000 people cast a ballot for Democratic challenger Joe Biden but no longer live in Nevada, where the former vice president has maintained a narrow lead.

The suit wants the state to take measures to ensure that every “legal” vote is tallied, the Reno Gazette Journal reported.

“We warned for the last few weeks we could end up in a situation where Nevada decides the presidency,” said Adam Laxalt, former Nevada attorney general and co-chair in Trump’s campaign in the state. “We’re asking for emergency relief. We’re asking for the judge to stop the counting of improper votes.”
