Nevada Supreme Court Rejects Attempt to Stop County’s Hand-Count
https://www.theepochtimes.com ^ | November 15, 2022 | Zachary Stieber

The Nevada Supreme Court on Nov. 14 turned down a request to halt hand counting of ballots in a rural county.

The hand count, which is taking place after all ballots cast in the midterms were tabulated with machines, is essentially a recount or an audit, neither of which are allowed under state law, the Brennan Center for Justice said in an emergency motion on Monday.

“Unless enjoined by this Court, this hand count will set a dangerous precedent for future elections by encouraging local officials to make up and implement their own vote counting processes that violate voters’ constitutional right to an accurate election ‘as provided by law,'” the group said.

The state’s top court ruled within hours, denying the petition.

The court noted that the hand count was approved by the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office, according to a response to the emergency motion from Interim Nye County Clerk Mark Kampf.

County officials also differed on what state law allows, saying a hand count that is not an audit or recount is not “expressly prohibit[ed]” by the law.

So, why should anyone object? Does someone have something to hide?

Gore vs. Bush was specifically filed so he would be able to do recounts in cherry-picked Florida counties. Funny, the Democrats had no problem with hand recounts, or counting hanging, pregnant, or swinging chads back in 2000.

All elections MUST be auditable... how the hell do you have any security if not???

Would they let a bank run with the ability to audit their books???????

I would hope that Laxalt and Repulicans are figuring out where all the ballots that were sent to vacant lots went, where all the folks that used the same address are and all the folks that used business and government buildings are.

If I read the story right, Nevada law states that ballots are sent to every address. Vacant lots have addresses. Who voted from there?

What if the lot is owned by someone out of state? Who voted from there?

Lots of ways to skin these cats.

For two hundred hand counts were done but these leftist scumbags want it banned. I wonder why.

It will take them five minutes.

How about hand counting ballots where it really counts? Like Clark county--where Las Vegas is.

“County officials also differed on what state law allows, saying a hand count that is not an audit or recount is not “expressly prohibit[ed]” by the law.”

Interesting statement. That means a hand count intended as an audit is “expressly prohibited.”

I wonder why.

Any guess what percentage the machine count will differ from the hand recount?

Interesting an arm of New York University would be inserting itself into what’s going on in a rural county in Nevada. Where’s their standing to sue?

Apparently, all election law is voluntary and can be ignored. So, why not?

They are blindly sent to every address and not to people? That can’t be right

That's just too rich. State election laws were blatantly ignored all over the country two years ago because of the bogus "health emergency." And they continue to be ignored to this date. Did the Brennan Center for Justice ever complain about those changes?
