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.

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."
