A judge in Clark County, Nevada, on Tuesday ordered a lawyer for the Donald Trump campaign to sit down and denied his request for an order to preserve polling data at four polling places that stayed open late last Friday.
Judge Gloria Sturman said the Trump campaign had failed to exhaust administrative remedies before coming to court in a bid to preserve and sequester voting data for late-cast votes at the four locations in the Las Vegas area, according to tweets by National Law Journal reporter Zoe Tillman.
The campaign had also sought preservation of information on people working at the polls, according to Tillman, the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Associated Press. The suit targets polling places with large minority populations, CNN reports.
According to the suit (PDF), the election law violations “were not random and neutral in their effect, but very much appear to have been intentionally coordinated with Democratic activists in order to skew the vote unlawfully in favor of Democratic candidates.”
Nevada law allows polling stations to remain open until everyone in line at closing time has a chance to vote, according to the suit. The Trump campaign says voters who showed up after the scheduled closing time at the four locations were allowed to vote, while voters at other sites who came late didn’t get to vote.
The lawsuit cites tweets about the late poll closings that encouraged people to go vote after the scheduled 8 p.m. closing time. The tweets came from “Twitter accounts supporting Democrats and the press,” according to the suit.
During the hearing on Tuesday, Sturman appeared “exasperated” as she “tore into Trump’s lawyers,” Vanity Fair reported.

I personally know Gloria Sturman, have had dinner with her and similar friends a number of times. She is to the left of Satan. Real piece of leftist trash.
I wonder if they could ask for a different judge to hear the case now.
Dems seem to like wiping evidence.
Some judges are a real piece of work. Loser.
Why is this being reposted? The story is a week old.
The judge made a good call. Trump’s lawyer was evidently unaware that the Registrar already is required by Nevada statute to retain the records requested, so an order requiring him/her to do so would be redundant.
Strange and suspicious behavior for a judge is it not? Is she on the take? Why would she not allow such a reasonable and responsible request?
It looks like she does NOT want to preserve evidence.
The next four years are a golden opportunity to restore FAIR ELECTIONS in America, as originally designed. The Dems have BASTARDIZED the process and that needs to be UNDONE.
In many Dem inner city precincts, there are no actual Republican election judges, so Dems serve in these positions, legally. This ability to vote for people who did not show up must be even easier to do if the polling place was allowed to stay open late. I think that this is the reason that Dem inner city precincts come in with their results so late. This year, Trump focused on having poll watchers. They may have saved this election for him. Big cities, like Philadelphia, did not even come in late.
Sturman should have said: shut up and sit down while I do the bidding of my Lord and Master Harry Reid.
Maybe Trump's lawyer is AWARE that DEMS, especially those in a position of power, DO NOT FOLLOW THE LAW. Would you have them wait until after the records are destroyed to go to court over it ?
The lawyer may not have had any confidence that the Registrar would follow the law. Did they provide any evidence of this?
BTW, any followup on the Broward absentee ballots? They had an affidavit in that case.
That is per se racist.
Your expose completely explains it.
How easy you make it sound. Congress can do it - but convicting an impeachment requires 67 Senators voting aye. Good luck with that.
Absolutely! If this reform is not done, I have doubts that we can outperform this last historic Republican sweeping election. Nevertheless, the left will come back with a hellbent revenge.
Note to Trump lawyers:
With security cameras everywhere in the country today—especially on city streets-—Find the tapes of the buses coming in & discharging more voters who got into line AFTER the deadline. IF that ‘end of the line’ wasn’t monitored, then you have the Nevada officials by the short hairs.......
As a person who lives in N Nevada, I will be delighted if you can break the back of Clark County & the influences of Dirty Harry Reid.
Can you think of a reason the judge would not have stated that fact in her statement justifying her decision. I can't imagine she would not have used it just to insult them, the fact she didn't, makes it look like she didn't know it either.
