a state that Trump lost by almost 2.5% four years ago and was thought to be out of the running this time.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, he has opened or grown leads in those states and others, including Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>These are all important swing states that will decide the winner.<\/p>\n<p>This comes as the Nevada Supreme Court rejected a challenge by Republicans and ruled that mail-in ballots received up to three days after election day could still be counted.<\/p>\n<p>The Hill\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/regulation\/court-battles\/4957675-nevada-supreme-court-rejects-gop-mail-ballot-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>\u00a0that a majority on the state high court ruled that the state law requiring mail-in ballots to be counted, even if the postmark \u201ccannot be determined,\u201d applies to ballots that have no postmark as well as those with illegible postmarks.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling that said ballots received three days after the Nov. 5 election day could still be counted.<\/p>\n<p>The decision dealt a setback to Republicans, who argued that the law should only apply to ballots with illegible postmarks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf 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,\u201d Nevada\u2019s majority opinion read, according to The Hill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndeed, there is no principled distinction between mail ballots where the postmark is \u2018illegible\u2019 or \u2018smudged\u2019 and those with no postmark \u2014 in each instance, the date the mail ballot was received by the post office cannot be determined,\u201d the court filing continued.<\/p>\n<p>The high court upheld the district court\u2019s decision that the GOP lacked standing, stating that the plaintiffs did not present sufficient evidence to demonstrate that mail ballots would be subject to voter fraud or that the existing security measures were inadequate to address those concerns.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">Advertisement<\/p>\n<div id=\"ld-12578241793956198-359\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Additionally, the high court dismissed the argument that mail ballots have a partisan bias favoring Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement to The Hill, the Republican National Committee contended that the ruling could impact election integrity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRequiring ballots to be postmarked on or before election day is a critical election integrity safeguard that ensures ballots mailed after election day are not counted,\u201d said RNC Spokesperson Claire Zunk. \u201cIt is also a requirement of Nevada law. By allowing Nevada officials to ignore the law\u2019s postmark requirement, the state\u2019s highest court has undermined the integrity of Nevada\u2019s elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, pollster Nate Silver\u2019s most recent\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/conservativebrief.com\/harris-trump-poll-86703\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forecast<\/a>\u00a0is that Trump could win all of the important split states in the 2024 election. Silver\u2019s research shows that Trump has a 24.4% chance of winning all seven swing states in November.<\/p>\n<p>This is the most likely outcome. The forecast also says that Harris has a 15.6% chance of winning all the battleground states.<\/p>\n<p>It also shows that Harris would win the race if she won all the swing states except Arizona and Georgia, where Trump is currently ahead.<\/p>\n<p>FiveThirtyEight\u2019s prediction has also changed in Trump\u2019s favor. It now says that Trump has a 51% chance of winning the election, while Harris only has a 49% chance.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, RealClearPolitics predicts that Trump will win all four swing states, giving him 312 Electoral College votes to Harris\u2019s 227.<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1849447629136015446&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fconservativebrief.com%2Fearly-voting-2-86739%2F&amp;sessionId=67db71024127744df4b739fcc14e60f74da23737&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1849447629136015446\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-6=\"true\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-15=\"true\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-29=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clark County, which is centered on Las Vegas, is where Republicans are most excited about giving Trump a win in a state that hasn\u2019t had a Republican candidate since 2004.
