The Trump campaign has filed new arguments in its lawsuit to stop New Jersey from having a mostly mail-in election this November, but did nothing to hasten the lawsuit’s conclusion.

“[The law] conflicts with those statutes because it (1) allows votes to be canvassed starting 10 days before Election Day and (2) allows mail-in votes to be cast after Election Day,” the amended complaint states.

All active registered voters are to be sent mail-in ballots, and each of New Jersey’s 21 counties will have to have at least 50 percent of their polling sites open on Election Day so voters can cast ballots in person by provisional ballot.

When the Trump campaign initially filed the lawsuit, one of its major arguments was that New Jersey’s Constitution only allows the state Legislature — not the governor — to determine how election are administered.

However, the new law also allows elections officials to begin counting mail-in ballots 10 days before the election, a provision the campaign seized upon.

Because A4475 allows election officials to begin canvassing 10 days before the election, federal law preempts it,” the amended complaint states?
