Good morning! Here’s a quick 🧵on the state of play in #nvleg after last night’s election results (caveat that there’s still a lot of mail ballots to process in Clark + Washoe).

Coming into the midterms, Assembly is 26D-16R and Senate is 12D-9R. Of 11 Senate races on the 2022 ballot, Dems and GOP can count on winning 4 races each (SD2, SD10, SD13, SD21 for Dems, SD14, SD16, SD17, SD20 for GOP).

There are 10 senate seats not on ballot -Dems control 6 seats, GOP controls 4.

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%

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

Sturman: You are asking, as a preliminary matter to throw out 1,400,000 votes on the chance that somewhere around 258 people voted who should not have Sturman says she's "really struggling" with idea of throwing out the election, says doing so would cause "very serious harm to public, disenfranchising the 1.4 million people who did vote....and the public interest is keeping people in office.

An FYI - this hearing, which was scheduled to start at 10 a.m., appears to be going on, but the court has somehow muted itself on the video conferencing system so I have no idea what's being said. Lots of hand gestures from judge + attorney for Marchant fwiw SOUND

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.

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")
