The ACLU of Nevada has asked the state’s secretary of state to investigate what it called a “coordinated partisan election administration effort” during a rural county's hand-count of mail-in ballots that was shut down last week.
Several ACLU members showed up on the first day of hand-counting Wednesday in Pahrump, an hour outside Las Vegas.
A spokesperson for Nye County did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment on Wednesday evening. Neither did Larsen nor Nye County GOP’s central committee chair.process on Friday due to orders from the secretary of state’s office over the early release of results after two days of hand-counting.
On the first day, when one reader was struggling with the pace at which to announce the candidates, Larsen walked in the hand-count room, sat in the reader chair and read the names herself to demonstrate the correct pace to announce names. In an interview after the first day of hand-counting, Larsen said her role was “making sure things are going the way Mark has set everything up. So, just looking out for the election integrity.”
