Trump Campaign, GOP Lose Bid To Stop Las Vegas-Area Ballot Count

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Nevada judge has denied a courtroom bid by the Trump campaign and state Republicans to stop the count of mail-in ballots in Clark County, the state's most populous and Democratic-leaning county, including Las Vegas.

A co-chairman of the Trump campaign in Nevada said Monday an immediate appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court is being considered.

Judge James Wilson Jr. acknowledged the state Legislature reshaped election law last summer due to the coronavirus pandemic, but said there's no evidence that one vote is getting more weight than another.

Wilson heard a full day of arguments in the case last Wednesday in Carson City.
