The Clark County Commission is meeting soon to canvass its results in the election. Follow along here for updates!
Attorney Craig Mueller is here in front of the Clark County Commish asking for a "total revote." Mueller is alleging that the Clark County registrar "flooded the county" with an additional 93,000 ballots, which he says wouldn't have been a problem if not for the sig ver machine.
Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria is now speaking before the commission. He's going through thanking people who were involved in the election process, including local law enforcement and fire, shopping centers that offered space for polling sites, etc.
Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria reads into his record the results of the canvass, which found 936 discrepancies, including 710 in mail precincts, 121 in early voting precincts and 105 in Election Day precincts.
Gloria says those discrepancies include:
- 6 voters who voted twice
- Mail ballot issues (w/ ballot cure process, counting board process, and tracking ballots from sig ver to manual verification)
- Early vote/election day issues (canceled voter check ins, check in errors, etc.)
There were 60,109 provisional ballots, 57,866 were accepted and 2,243 were rejected. Those rejected include:
- 115 who had already voted
- 142 voted in wrong precinct
- 8 not eligible to vote
- 1,925 not registered to vote
- 53 did not provide adequate proof of residence
Clark County Commissioner Larry Brown had made a motion to accept the results of the election EXCEPT in County Commission District C, the Stavros Anthony-Ross Miller race. (That's Brown's district.)
Gloria says he HAS found discrepancies in the Clark County Commission C race that he can't reconcile. There are a total of 139 discrepancies in that race that he acknowledges "could affect the outcome of the election."
Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria on the Clark County Commission District C race: "We have found discrepancies that we can't explain that would cast a doubt on whether or not that margin of victory is solid."
Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria notes that the ONLY race they have an issue with is the Commission District C race, because of the 10-vote margin: "That's the only race in the entire election we have any concern related to the outcome. And it's because of the margin."
Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom is pressing the point that if there is a recount, the same discrepancies would still be present. A recount does not address those discrepancies.
They're now discussing the fact that Clark County *could* set up a special election just for ONE particular race (in this case Clark County Commission District C) to re-run the election if it doesn't certify the results of that particular race.
It sounds like there are essentially two routes: Either the Clark County Commission could make a decision on the revote today OR they could certify the results of the election, Stavros Anthony takes the matter to court, and a court could order a revote.
Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria says there is no election that goes without identified discrepancies. The issue here is the margin of victory. Gloria says they go through to ensure the discrepancies are smaller than the margin of victory, which isn't true in this case.
Clark County Commissioner Larry Brown is now amending his motion, asking the Clark County registrar to come back at their first meeting in December with options for a special election in the race.
Gloria says the cost of a special election depends on how the election is held. He says that he will prepare those numbers to present to the commission at their meeting.
Here's the motion again from Commissioner Brown: Certify the election results except for Clark County Commission District C. Ask the registrar to come back at the commission's first meeting in December with options for a special election in District C only.
The Clark County Commission approves this motion. The results of the election in Clark County are now certified except for District C.
Clark County Commission Chair Marilyn Kirkpatrick what is going to happen to the people who voted twice. "I hope that we're going to go after them" she says.

Gloria says the cases will be referred to the SOS for investigation.

Hi friends! What happened in the Clark County Commission District C race was not “large scale voter discrepancy.” There were 139 discrepancies in the race, which normally would not matter except the Democratic candidate in the race, Ross Miller, won by only 10 votes.
In total, there were 936 discrepancies identified across Clark County. That includes six people who voted twice, among other issues like check in errors, inadvertently canceled voter check ins, issues with the ballot cure process, etc.
Those discrepancies, when you look at how many were in each race, were NOT enough to change the margin of difference in every single race in Clark County EXCEPT Commission District C, again because the margin was literally 10 votes.

Nevada COVID-19 updates for 11/16:

🧪 Test positivity is UP: 7-day avg is 30.4%, or 15.4% using state method
🏥 Hospitalizations are UP: 1,157, just eight shy of this summer's record
😷 Cases are UP: 1,491 new cases/day on avg (+59)
📅 8 days to improve before new restrictions ImageImageImage
Some things worth elaborating on: Our peak hospitalizations was 1,165 this summer on July 31. We're almost back at that number now with 1,157 hospitalizations. Clark hospitalizations are climbing too, but this surge is being fueled by Washoe.

The Washoe County Commission will be canvassing its returns from the election this morning. Final turnout in Washoe County was a record 83.02%.

Follow along here for updates!
Also although we had gotten indications that Washoe was still going to be tabulating its provisional/same day ballots over the weekend, total turnout in Washoe (252,563) hasn't changed in this presentation from the registrar of voters... which makes me think maybe this is it.
Washoe County Registrar Deanna Spikula is giving a brief presentation to the county commission about the election. You can download it here: washoecounty.us/bcc/board_comm…

In summary, this is the universe of ballots that could still be counted in Clark:

- 63,262 mail (b/w Election Day drop off, USPS from ED/Wed, + ballots pending prior to ED)
- 241 NEW mail added to that total today
- 60,000 provisional
- 44,000 ID-required
- 2,100 need sig cure
There's been a lot of confusion at this press conference: Joe Gloria, Clark County registrar, mentioned two separate universes of mail ballots yesterday: 51k that were being processed yesterday and that other 63k that were not yet being processed.
That 51k number was wrong, because it referred to PAGES, not individual ballots. In reality, there were about 30K ballots. That was what was reported out of Clark County this morning.

The daily press conference at the Clark County Elections Department is kicking off now. I'll be live tweeting the highlights here, so follow along!
Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria says when he said that there were 51,000 ballots being processed yesterday to be reported today, that was incorrect. There were actually only a little over 30,000 (the number reported this morning.)
They inadvertently reported the number of page numbers that needed to be counted, not the number of individual ballots. However, the 63,000 number that he gave yesterday (of mail ballots left to be counted) is correct.
