Clark County elections officials say backers of a Republican-led recall effort have submitted hundreds of more signatures than they need to trigger a special election to recall Democratic state Senator Nicole Cannizzaro.
The Nevada Independent reports supporters of the recall effort said they submitted 16,875 signatures Tuesday, which is 1,900 more than they needed to remove Cannizzaro from office.
The county will complete its own count this week.

The recall effort is one of three targeting a trio of state senators aimed at flipping control of the Democrat-controlled Senate to the Republicans ahead of the 2018 election.
