A bipartisan mail ballot bill in Nevada? It’s not as crazy as it sounds.

Associated Press  

Anything is possible in the Nevada Legislature — including a bipartisan bill on the politicized issue of mail ballots. The top Democrat and Republican in the Assembly are joining forces on a bill that would require all sample ballots to be sent to voters before mail ballots are distributed. “But we’ll take the win for the day and see what else comes up.” Under AB148, all mail ballots must be distributed to voters living in Nevada between the fourth and fifth Monday before an election. “To me, that would be concerning.” The bill would also set an earlier deadline for local election officials to send out sample ballots. But under AB148, sample ballots must be sent out by the last day that mail ballots can be sent, which would be five days earlier than the current sample ballot requirement.
