LAS VEGAS (AP) — A federal judge in Las Vegas made no immediate ruling on a request from Democrats that he issue a restraining order telling Donald Trump supporters not to harass voters at polls in Nevada next Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge Richard Boulware heard more than three hours of arguments Wednesday from lawyers for the Democratic Party and an attorney for the Nevada Republican Party and Trump campaign.
The judge says he wants to make a decision by the weekend.
First, he wants sworn testimony Thursday from a Trump campaign official who heads Nevada poll-watcher training about whether people are being fully told the state laws they have to follow.
The Nevada lawsuit is one of four filed in states that include Arizona, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Democrats in Nevada say they fear vigilante voter intimidation.
