Trump campaign, Nevada GOP sue Clark County for detailed records on ballot counting process

Source: The Nevada Independent

By Riley Snider

The Nevada Republican Party and President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign have filed an emergency lawsuit against Clark County, seeking detailed records related to the county’s plan for processing and overseeing ballots cast in the 2020 election.

The lawsuit, filed Wednesday, names Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria and Clark County itself as defendants, and claims that county officials failed to turn over information in response to detailed public records requests submitted by attorneys for the campaign and state Republican Party.

It’s the second lawsuit filed by the president’s re-election campaign and the state Republican Party against Clark County officials in recent days, after they filed a lawsuit asking for an emergency injunction over the county’s alleged insufficient processes for ballot counting observation and poll watching. A judge preliminarily denied the request for a temporary restraining order, with an evidentiary hearing set for this Wednesday.

A spokesman for the Nevada State Republican Party declined to comment late Tuesday.

According to the lawsuit, an attorney for the campaign and state party submitted three extremely detailed records requests between Oct. 16 and Oct. 23 related to the county’s plan for processing and overseeing submitted ballots — which the county partially filled but said it would not be able to complete before the canvass of votes.

Is he going to make up some reason to challenge the count?
Is he going to target people who vote against him?
Sounds like lists are being assembled.

So they will try to win by cheating. If there are overwhelming numbers of voters, they won't win. They know that. The Dems will keep on voting and doing their thing. Meanwhile, the Repugs will lose because they can't win in a fair game.

They are thugs. They have no idea how to run a country or create a bill that will help the country, meaning all of us. They only care about themselves and all that money that pours in to get them re-elected.

Let us impound these votes because the election officials can't ensure proper counts.
