Trump warns about election fraud 

Ford said, “He has made every attempt to control the outcome of this election without any regard for the health and safety of residents of Nevada's state laws designed to protect the sanctity of the ballot”. This happened after the Trump campaign and the Nevada Republican Party filed a lawsuit the registrar of Clark County, Joseph Gloria, failed to submit a plan related to the delivery, counting, handling, and processing of ballots by the assigned date of April 15. However, this is not the first time that Trump has expressed his concern over mailing-in ballots. At various public rallies, he has warned that this can lead to fraud.
