Trump Campaign Files Another Lawsuit Despite Legal Setbacks

Masood Farivar

   WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump's embattled reelection
   campaign continued its legal challenges to vote counting Thursday even
   as it suffered a pair of setbacks in two battleground states key to
   winning the election.

   In Nevada, a Democratic-leaning state where former Vice President Joe
   Biden maintained a slight advantage over Trump in the vote count, the
   Trump campaign and the state Republican Party announced a lawsuit
   claiming at least 10,000 nonresidents had illegally voted and that
   their votes were being counted.

   "It is unacceptable in this country to have illegal votes counted, and
   that is what's happening in the state of Nevada," Trump's former acting
   intelligence chief, Richard Grenell, said at a news conference in Las
   Vegas.

   Joe Gloria, the registrar of voters for Clark County, Nevada, dismissed
   the allegation. "My response is that we're not aware of any improper
   ballots that are being processed," Gloria told reporters during a news
   conference.

   The Trump campaign announced on Wednesday that it was filing a lawsuit
   to temporarily halt vote counting in Pennsylvania --a state vital to
   the president's prospects for reelection --until its observers are
   granted more access to watch vote counting.

   The suit in Nevada, the campaign's fourth major legal action since
   Tuesday's still-undecided presidential election, came as courts in
   Georgia and Michigan threw out two Trump lawsuits over ballot handling
   in those states.

   In Georgia, the Republicans had accused a local board of elections of
   allowing invalid mail-in ballots to be mixed in with ballots ready to
   be counted. But a judge dismissed the suit after a local election
   official testified that the ballots in question "were timely received."
