Worries are emerging among Republicans that voters will not trust the outcome of the election in the swing state of Nevada after a ballot counting court ruling last week.

Republicans were handed a loss in the left-leaning battleground when the Nevada Supreme Court ruled just eight days before the 2024 election that un-postmarked mail-in ballots received on the third day after November 5 may still be counted.

In many states, mail-in ballots must be postmarked to be validated and prove that they were sent by a certain date to be valid in the vote count for a presidential election.

'This infringes on - and dilutes the right of - every voter who exercised the constitutional right to vote,' pollster Craig Keshishian told DailyMail.com. 'And in legal terms, it's an impingement on due process and equal protection of those who play by the rules.'

'Try mailing your tax returns after the deadlines without a postmark and 인터넷카지노 expect no penalties!' he lamented.

But the seven justices on the Battle Born State's highest court upheld a lower court ruling against the former president's team and the RNC.

'If a voter properly and timely casts their vote by mailing their ballot before or on the day of the election, and through a post office omission the ballot is not postmarked, it would go against public policy to discount that properly cast vote,' the court's majority stated.

This law has prompted complaints from those who insist the results should be called on Election Day and from Republicans who claim it gives the other side an opportunity to cheat and flood in fake ballots. 

RNC spokeswoman Claire Zunk shared a statement with DailyMail.com that declares the ruling undermines the 'critical election security safeguard that ensures ballots mailed after Election Day are not counted.'

'By allowing Nevada officials to ignore the law's postmark requirement, the state's highest court has undermined the integrity of Nevada's elections,' Zunk said.

A former FEC member and current manager of the Heritage Foundation's Election Law Reform Initiative told DailyMail.com: 'This is a foolish and unwise ruling from the court, although they were upholding a foolish and unwise state law.'

'By allowing ballots to be counted that come in after election day with no postmark, they are allowing individuals to potentially vote after Election Day and after they are able to see early returns,' Hans​​​​ von Spakovsky added.

'This will provide an incentive to political consultants, campaigns, fraudsters, and party activists to gather up unused absentee ballots so they can be completed and used to bolster the voter totals for losing candidates.'

In Nevada, the state mails out absentee ballots to every single registered voter. This is abnormal compared to most other states where voters only receive mail-in or absentee ballots when they request them.

Some concerning reports found that ballots are even sent to nonresidential addresses.

Von Spakovsky noted this includes 'strip clubs, casinos, gas stations, and bars.'

The conservative Heritage Foundation think tank ranks Nevada 50th in their Election Integrity Scorecard with a 28 out of 100 points.

'This latest court decision will just increase the skepticism that already exists over Nevada's election process and certainly will not inspire confidence,' von Spakovsky noted.
