A federal judge in Las Vegas says he hasn't seen evidence that Donald Trump's campaign is training people to intimidate voters in Nevada.
U.S. District Judge Richard Boulware said Thursday that he doesn't expect to issue a restraining order that Democrats sought ahead of Tuesday's election.
But Boulware said he won't issue a final ruling until a hearing Friday afternoon about whether another defendant, Roger Stone Jr., and his group called "Stop the Steal" are encouraging what Democrats call "vigilante voter intimidation."
The Democrats allege that Trump's calls to supporters to show up at the polls to prevent voter fraud is a call to illegal intimidation tactics. They say Stone is organizing volunteer poll watchers to confront voters.
Boulware's comments came after Nevada's top Trump election-day operations chief testified that on Thursday morning he sent emails to the more than 100 people he had trained as poll-watchers about rules they have to follow if they challenge a voter's eligibility.
The judge acknowledged that Trump campaign official Jesse Law's emailed instructions essentially pre-empted the remedy he would have considered if he found evidence of intentional omissions in training for poll-watchers.
