Yesterday, President Trump retweeted a tweet stating that an audit of voting machines in Nevada showed a 70% error rate. This is clearly not true, but this (at least to me) is a new unsupported fraud claim promoted by the president. So where did it come from?
As far as I can tell, it comes from a prominent/anonymous right-wing Twitter account that misunderstood how Clark County's signature verification machine/process works, and claimed that there was an error rate of 70%
Clark County used an Agilis machine for signature verification. The 70% figure refers to the rough estimate of ballots that are not "matched" by the machine to signatures on file, and are then hand-checked by election workers.
Nevada does use Dominion voting machines in 16 of 17 counties. But the Agilis machine is manufactured by Runbeck Election Services, which isn't owned/affiliated with Dominion

The Trump campaign filed and lost a lawsuit in state court challenging use of the Agilis signature verification machine before Election Day

Similar claims were rejected in federal court as well

If you're still following for updates on the Trump election contest lawsuit in Nevada;

Attorneys for the Trump campaign + Dems have a 7 p.m. deadline to submit supplemental briefs to the state Supreme Court.

Any filings will be posted here:
caseinfo.nvsupremecourt.us/public/caseVie…
Will there be a decision tonight?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But the fact court asked for supplemental brief after hours is maybe a good sign for a ruling tonight - Ds want decision today (safe harbor deadline) and GOP wants to fully brief case/decision next week
Both the Trump campaign and Dems have filed supplemental briefs by the 7 p.m. deadline.

Tuesday is the "safe harbor" deadline, a key date where "states must certify results if they want protection under federal election law against Congress stepping in to decide which candidate gets their electoral votes."

We're waiting for the actual appeal itself to be filed with the state Supreme Court, which will likely happen at some point today and ask for an expedited decision before the end of Tuesday
