Donald J. Trump for President v. Cegavske, No. 2:20-cv-01445 (D. Nev.) |
||
| Case Summary | Plaintiffs filed their action to enjoin the enforcement of Nevada bill AB4, which expanded the use of mail-in and absentee voting in elections that are impacted by a pandemic or other disaster. The bill would expand absentee voting in the November election. Plaintiffs argue that this will result in fraud and the diluation of the vote of individuals who vote in person, rendering many sections of the Nevada law unconstitutional. | |

| Dispositive Ruling(s) | 09/18/2020: Order/Ruling, The court dismissed plaintiffs' amended complaint for lack of standing. The harms alleged by the Trump Campaign, the RNC, and the Nevada Republican Party were either too attenuated from the plaintiffs or too speculative or conclusory to constitute concrete and particularized harm to plaintiffs and confer standing. The Court thus dismissed the amended complaint for failure to establish subject matter jurisdiction. | |
