Republican National Committee Co-Chair Lara Trump defended the recent legal filings by the party and the Donald Trump campaign in electoral battleground states speaking with Fox News on Sunday. TEXT: Lara Trump is being blasted on social media for bragging about a Republican lawsuit that could disenfranchise huge numbers of voters. “You cannot have ballots counted, Maria, after elections are over,” Trump, who is the daughter-in-law of Donald Trump and co-chair of the Republican National Committee, told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday. “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.” 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. But RNC Chairman Michael Whatley claimed to The Associated Press that the deadline “violates federal law and undermines election integrity.” Other Republicans ― including Donald Trump ― have gone even further, arguing against counting any ballots at all after Election Day. Trump in 2020 infamously demanded that states “STOP THE COUNT!” as election officials worked for days to count an unprecedented number of absentee ballots after millions of Americans opted to vote by mail due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Critics on social media tore into Lara Trump over her claims on Fox News: www.huffpost.com/entry/lara-trump-election-lawsuit_n_66385dcce4b03d2898dd7362?I don’t know, let’s try it out as a social experiment. *shrugs*

I was going to say what that Roddick guy said-its a marathon where it's not over until the last person crosses the line or drops out.
Elections are over when the last ballot is counted

It's very hard to count votes until after they have been cast.

After it's pointed out that a lot military ballots wouldn't be counted, look for them to retool their messaging to say that ONLY military ballots shoulds be counted after the cutoff.

When Al Gore’s recount in Florida was tipping his way, Governor Jeb Bush, brother of Gore’s challenger, shut it down and flipped it to the Republican appointed majority SCOTUS who ruled in favor of George W. Bush. Next stop, Iraq and 20 years of “nation building.”

This is just another Trumpian attempt to undermine public confidence in elections in advance in case Trump loses.
