@AdamLaxalt@VoteJimMarchant Laxalt: We believe that there are dead voters that have been counted. We are also confident that there are thousands of people whose votes have been counted that have moved out of Clark County during the pandemic
Laxalt says the lawsuit will ask a federal judge to "stop the counting of improper votes."
Trump campaign advisor / former acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grennell: All of your questions about the details are legitimate questions, and they should be asked of Clark County because the Clark County officials are silent.
American Conservative Union President Matt Schalpp: We have to understand that what's going on in Nevada impacts what's going on all across this country, which is the American people want to have confidence in the results that are coming out of Nevada
Press conference ends w/out any questions

I'll be live-tweeting this hearing on the lawsuit filed by NV GOP groups seeking a halt to Clark County's use of a signature verification machine. Scheduled to start at 2 p.m. PST
To recap, here's what the plaintiffs are requesting as part of the lawsuit (which was filed last night in federal court).
Our story on the complaint: thenevadaindependent.com/article/nv-rep…
Here is the @NVSOS reply to the complaint, filed earlier today:
NEW: Judge Joe Hardy Jr. rules that polling sites that were not open by in Clark County due to technical difficulties can remain open until 8 p.m. this evening.
HARDY: The right to vote is obviously extremely extremely important and if the courts going to err on the side of anything, as, as all parties candidly recognize here, best to err on the side of allowing the full fair opportunity for everyone to cast their votes.
IMPORTANT: Hardy says anyone in line at the listed locations by 8 p.m. can still cast a ballot
I'm following along with the state of Nevada's COVID-19 Mitigation and Management Task Force meeting - starting off with public comment, there was some feedback, but it sounds like the Nye County Commission is going to draft a plan to re-open brothels in the county
An attorney for the Chicken Ranch brothel says brothels have remained closed with "no rational basis provided for the continued closure."
Says there are "plenty" of skin-on-skin industries also currently open, such as dentists
On a Trump campaign press call with former NV Sen. @DeanHeller, who says this is his first press call in a year and a half. Says he now spends 80% of his time outdoors, and woke up at 5 a.m. this morning to move irrigation water, feed cows, and checking squirrel traps
@DeanHeller Heller says that Biden met his family when he was sworn in as a U.S. Senator. Said the former VP flirted with his 80 year old mother & couldn't keep his hand off his pregnant daughter's stomach ("She found it unusual...but she was not offended")
Heller says he also knew Sen. Kamala Harris while in the Senate, and googled her before the call to see her accomplishments and didn't see much that impressed him. "I think that's pretty telling from someone who's going to become vice president."
Here's a link to @GovSisolak's 5 p.m. press conference, where he will provide an "update on Phase 2 of the Nevada United: Roadmap to Recovery Plan." I'll be live-tweeting his remarks & @MichelleRindels
is covering in person nvleg.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.ph…
Sisolak is joined by COVID-19 Response Director Caleb Cage & DHHS administrator Julie Peek, who is leading contact tracing efforts
Sisolak:
Recently we've experienced some trends that require additional evaluation and analysis. This includes an upward trend in the number of new daily cases in the last three weeks
