Testimony Continues In Voter Intimidation Case

In Las Vegas, a partisan battle about fears of voter intimidation is returning to federal court for testimony from a Donald Trump campaign official about training given to Republican poll-watchers in Nevada.

U.S. District Judge Richard Boulware has said Thursday's hearing will help him decide by the weekend on a request by Democrats for a restraining order telling people supporting Trump not to harass voters at polls next Tuesday.

The judge indicated Wednesday that a court order could amount to having the Trump campaign issue a memo to volunteer poll-watchers about state laws they have to follow if they challenge the eligibility of a voter.

Nevada Democrats accuse the Trump campaign, party associate Roger Stone Jr., and Stone's group called "Stop the Steal" of encouraging what the Democrats call "vigilante voter intimidation."
