's campaign tells me they've been trying to serve Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria with a subpoena since Wednesday.
County workers locked the building to keep them out and then Gloria hid in his house all weekend.
What are Gloria and Clark County hiding?
Clark County's election system is so bad, they're likely going to hold an entirely new election for a race where 150K people cast their votes.
But remember, those of us concerned about election irregularities and fraud are just conspiracy theorists.
Based on evidence obtained from DMV, Trump campaign says they identified almost 4K immigrant voters.
I’m guessing these are people who registered to vote while using a green card for identification.
That would be a massive scandal.
The Clark County Commission just threw out an election that represents almost 1/6 of the total votes cast in Clark County because there were too many “discrepancies” to be sure that that the results in that election can be certain. 153K votes in this election.
As I said earlier, I expect the NV Supreme Court to reject the Trump campaign’s case. Much easier to do that than engage in the hard work of pouring through the evidence that was filed under seal.
More details on how the Trump campaign used databases to identify suspected double, dead and out-of-state voters.
That’s actual research, as compared to internet searches of past elections.
Democrats expert who claimed limited voter fraud in previous Nevada elections apparently did an internet search for past fraud cases.
I’ll never understand this idea that those committing fraud will brag about it after the fact.
VA swung to Rs by 12 points tonight. To get a sense of how significant that is, here's how Nevada would look with a 12-point swing to Rs in past elections.
U.S. Senate: 2 Rs
House: 3 of 4 R
Statewide: 6 Rs, 0 Ds
State Senate: 12-9 R
Assembly: 23-19 R

@realDonaldTrump
did a poll of 1,440 Nevadans who records show voted by mail.
1% said they didn't vote.
2% said they didn't receive a ballot in the mail.
That is concerning.
We simply cannot stay closed until the vaccine hits critical mass. The cost is too high. We will have nothing left to open. We must reopen the economy, but we must do it smartly and safely.

This didn't get enough attention. Yesterday, King
@GovSisolak
said an 8-year-old committed suicide this fall.
8 years old. That's an unfathomable tragedy. 😭😭😭
Reopen the schools.
On his show today,
@benshapiro
lays out why Rs should vote for
@RonDeSantis
:
"If the primaries were held today, I would vote for Ron DeSantis. ... He's the best governor in America. He is the most consistently conservative person in the race. He is an incredibly competent…
A gracious statement from
@adamlaxalt
.
There’s sure to be a lot of revisionist history going forward, but Laxalt was the best Republican Senate challenger this cycle. He ran a great campaign too. In the end, the money and ballot harvesting disparity was too much to overcome.
CONFIRMED: Nevada Department of Corrections ordered hydroxychloroquine after
@GovSisolak
banned non-hospital doctors from prescribing it. This statement is from NDOC. Thread (1/X)
The delay in counting mail ballots should be unacceptable to everyone. Election results should be available the night of the election, not days later once officials get around to counting all the ballots.
The best — and perhaps the only — way to get Democrats to oppose ballot harvesting is for Republicans to be more successful at ballot harvesting than Democrats.
This means that if — and that’s a big IF — hydroxychloroquine is effective against
#coronavirus
, Nevada inmates will have access while general public won’t outside of a hospital. Unless Sisolak reverses himself. (4/X)
There is a narrow path to a Laxalt victory.
1. Gain 2-4K among Washoe mail. Possible because ED drop offs favored Rs.
2. Gain 2-4K in rurals.
Say he nets 6K total, lead of 15K
3. Lose 50K Clark ballots by <27 points. A 61-34 pace would be +13.5K for CCM. Laxalt ahead by 1.5K.
As predicted the rurals and Washoe have given Laxalt the lead. He’s up 23K votes. Even Joe Gloria shouldn’t be sitting on that many ballots.
Lombardo has won. He’s up 40K.
On a disappointing night nationally for Rs, Nevada is a bright spot.
This isn’t to say NDOC did the wrong thing or that its actions are illegal, but to point out
@GovSisolak
's hypocritical overreach in his efforts to stick it to
@realDonaldTrump
. (5/X)
Veteran Garrett Smith says he never received his ballot in the mail, yet a county worker told him his ballot was returned successfully.
Is what happened to him a one-off event or indicative of wide spread fraud?
Trump's lawyer is arguing that they gave Biden's camp access to the databases they used and methodology. Biden camp didn't identify any errors.
Basically, the lawyers have the data. The public doesn't, and so we don't know if it's accurate.
Yep, argument of Biden's defense is that court should reject, because Trump's team identified universes of suspicious voters, but not specific individuals.
Which may be a fine legal argument, but it doesn't get to the (separate) question of if there was voter fraud.
NDOC ordered the drug for those currently taking it and for “potential future use for those who demonstrate a medical need.” That’s stockpiling the drug at the same time
@GovSisolak
said he had to prohibit non-hospital doctors from prescribing, because of a shortage. (2/X)
Sisolak’s emergency regulation also prevents non-hospital doctors from prescribing it to new patients, even for non-coronavirus ailments, like lupus. NDOC says it could do so (3/X).
One thing I know for certain though. Nevada's slowness in counting is a national embarrassment.
The number of ballots left in Clark County has gone up and down like a yo-yo too.
This is some really good news for
@AdamLaxalt
.
Looks like USPS mail ballots (which CCM has won 2-1) have all but stopped. And it suggests the county counted more mail ballots last night than previously anticipated.
Using DMV records, the
@realDonaldTrump
campaign uncovered evidence that almost 4,000 immigrants voted in Nevada. Given automatic voter registration, that is very plausible and should be investigated.
Wow. Republicans are significantly outperforming Democrats in rural Nevada and Washoe.
If this keeps up,
@realDonaldTrump
has a chance to win Washoe -- assuming he's doing okay with independent voters.
If you have coronavirus and die -- even if coronavirus didn't contribute to your death -- Nevada counts it as a COVID-19 death.
They're cooking the books.
Credit to
@ReaganBabe
for asking Trump the key question in her recent interview with him: If you believe the 2020 election was stolen, why do you think you'll win this time?
Trump's response wasn't encouraging.
If you had asked Nevada Republicans yesterday what a best-cast scenario looked like for today, I don't think anyone would have been so bold as to predict what's happening right now.
Rs up 7K+ in Washoe County Election Day voting.
Third straight day where
@RonDeSantis
has more interest on Google Trends than Trump.
And DeSantis strongly outperformed Trump in South Carolina where DeSantis was campaigning.
King Sisolak has expressed more anger over
@realDonaldTrump
having political rallies than he did after a Black Lives Matter protester shot a
@LVMPD
officer.
Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria admitted today that his office doesn't investigate voter fraud claims, because "we don't have an investigatory team"
Said his office refers allegations to
@NVSOS
"when they're reported to us."
Not exactly a proactive approach. 🤔
Hearing rumblings that Clark won't even be releasing the number of mail ballots dropped off or received in the mail.
I've asked the county for confirmation. Nothing yet, but that should be unacceptable -- to everyone. Officials shouldn't sit on a secret stash of ballots.
The idea that the Trump team would have had time before today to conduct 40,000+ depositions with voters identified thru database analysis to find out who they voted for (and admit they voted illegally) is implausible.
The Biden camp just got the court to reject a list of potential non-citizen voters because it was submitted too late, even though Trump camp argued it was submitted as soon as possible.
Who’s going to be the first to call the race for
@JoeLombardoNV
? He’s up almost 29K with these votes remaining:
1. ED mail in Washoe that has more R than D ballots
2. Whatever’s left in rurals. Helps him.
3. 57K ED mail in Clark. Sisolak would have to win by 60+ points.
King
@GovSisolak
implies that it’s safe for a band to play at a restaurant only if patrons are paying for the food. If customers paid to listen to the music, that would be unsafe. Quick, someone give him a Nobel Prize for this medical breakthrough.
Retweet if you can spot any differences here.
Florida, largely open under
@RonDeSantisFL
:
6.5% unemployment rate
399 new COVID cases per million (7-day average).
Nevada, largely closed under King
@GovSisolak
:
12% unemployment rate
868 new COVID cases per million.
I will always protect the right of Floridians to work and provide for their families. I enjoyed meeting with restaurant employees and small business owners today to discuss the importance of safeguarding the right to earn a living. I’ve got your back!
King
@GovSisolak
promises to send Nevada into another "Great Depression" next month if cases don't go down.//
Good luck everyone. A highly infectious disease will still be highly infectious next month. Blaming Nevadans for the spread of COIVD is a shameful "straw man."
If King
@GovSisolak
knew how to stop the spread of coronavirus, he would have implemented that plan 6 months ago.
He doesn't have a clue, but he's taking away our freedom anyway.
Hearing rumblings that local governments in Southern Nevada are preparing to push back hard against King
@GovSisolak
’s restrictions. This could be another reason why he’s announced that he’s relaxing restrictions next week.
As a
@LVMPD
officer was being shot in the head, the
@NVNationalGuard
was on standby, waiting for
@GovSisolak
to allow them to help maintain order and public safety.
Gov. Sisolak, if you're afraid to lead, you should resign.

I expect there will be a lot of folks here who’ll be excited to see DeSantis.
Nevada Democrats voter registration lead keeps falling and is now under 49,000 or 2.7%.
The gap hasn't been that close since 2012.
Big news for

The red wave is happening in Washoe. Massive Republican turnout in the county's noon update.
Up nearly 4K in Election Day voting and 3.3K after including early voting.
King
@GovSisolak
’s victim blaming is really appalling. We’ve been suffering under his royal edicts for 8 months, yet he continues to blame Nevadans for a worldwide pandemic affecting Nevada. Disgusting.
Clark County doesn’t investigate voter fraud. Nevada’s AG — whose office has the resources to thoroughly investigate voter fraud — isn’t interested.
Nevada’s election security motto might as well be: Trust, don’t verify.
The
@NevadaAG
office met Pres. Trump & surrogates in court a lot. They never once presented sufficient evidence of widespread fraud. Yes, they spouted nonsense in the media. But they NEVER backed it up in court. That’s why they always lost. And that’s why they lost again tonight.
Asked King
@GovSisolak
what the medical rationale was for allowing a band to play “background” music at a restaurant where people don’t wear masks, but not at an entertainment venue where people where masks.
He dodged the question and cut off my follow-up.
.
@Wheeler4Nevada
out with a release pushing back on King
@GovSisolak
’s unilateral lockdowns. Objects to Sisolak using “emergency” powers over 8 months. He’s sponsoring a much-needed bill next session to limit a governor’s emergency powers.
Of the 10 states with the lowest unemployment rates, 9 have Republican governors.
Of the 11 states/DC with the highest unemployment rates (two states are tied for 10th worse), all 11 have Democrat executives.
Roll Call finds
@AdamLaxalt
was the best performing Republican candidate in a competitive Senate race. He performed 1.2 points above a generic R. In PA, GA, and AZ, R candidates performed below a replacement-level candidate.
Last Sunday, King
@GovSisolak
implied that the spread of COVID is happening because Nevadans don’t “love our neighbors.”
Tell us, Your Majesty, did you catch COVID because your don’t love your neighbor?
On press call,
@JasonMillerinDC
says Democrats have no pathway if they lose in Florida and Pennsylvania. Says
@realDonaldTrump
campaign feels good about where turnout is high.
Great news for
@realDonaldTrump
out of Nevada. 24.5K mail ballots left (+ incoming) BUT 34.7K mail ballots dropped off on Election Day. In-person Election Day favored Rs, so Trump could gain in Clark.
Maybe there's an innocent explanation, like memory mistakes.
But it's yet another reason that law enforcement should be investigating to find out how wide spread voter fraud was this last election cycle.
Demand for coronavirus tests has dropped noticeably. That’s despite an emergency alert going out last week urging people to get tested.
If you’re having to beg people to get tested, the crisis has passed.
Here's why King
@GovSisolak
's restrictions won't last just 3 weeks.
If cases go down, it'll be considered "proof" that the restrictions worked and must be continued.
If cases go up, His Highness has already threatened to impose greater restrictions.
When
@GovSisolak
re-imposed a mask mandate, the 14-day average of cases was around 1,100. As he (reportedly) removes the mandate tomorrow, the average will likely be around 1,300.
Don't expect an apology, but Nevadans, esp kids, deserve one.
King
@GovSisolak
now begging conventions not to go to other states that offer more freedom.
Would have been nice to do that before Las Vegas lost the National Finals Rodeo and PBR World Finals to Texas.
Voting for
@realDonaldTrump
isn’t an endorsement of everything he says or does. It’s a recognition that his policies are far better than the alternative.
Bottom line on King
@GovSisolak
’s presser. His previous plan didn’t work, so we’re doing it again for a longer period of time.
Retweet if you think this “plan” makes no sense.
Had an insider (not w/ Laxalt or Lombardo) tell me last night that mail ballots dropped off on Election Day would lean R compared to previous mail.
Washoe now reporting Rs returned more mail ballots yesterday than Ds. Ds had been winning Washoe mail 35K to 24K.
Huge news.
There its is. Just days after
@realDonaldTrump
's supposedly deadly, dangerous rallies, King
@GovSisolak
's coronavirus task force approves Clark County bars reopening on Monday.
King
@GovSisolak
’s hypocrisy knows no limits. These tweets — one demanding social distancing everywhere, the other pictures of him today (!) not socially distancing — were 3 hours apart.
Here are 2 new mailers hitting
@AdamLaxalt
for not being conservative enough. Clearly, an attempt to drive down the R vote.
Interestingly, the mailers don’t say who sent them out.
.
@realDonaldTrump
refuses to bow to King
@GovSisolak
. His campaign says the president is coming to Nevada this weekend, additional details to follow.
It's true Clark County can't finish counting ballots until Saturday (or next week with signature cures/provisionals).
But the election department could have counted them a lot faster -- and released relevant information (D/R breakdown of ED mail drop offs) sooner.
Today, Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria refused to rule out the possibility of 1,000s of cases of voter fraud, as alleged by
@NVGOP
.
"How would I know that? There's no way for me to know," he said.
Exactly. The system isn't secure.
Google trends show that
@RonDeSantis
is drawing more interest than Trump nationwide over the past day.
In Iowa, almost three times as many people searched for DeSantis as Trump.
Will be interesting to see the change when Trump visits Iowa Thursday.
NV isn’t just terrible at counting ballots quickly. Signature verification isn’t the failsafe security measure officials have claimed.
Clark County accepted my version of someone else’s signature on 6 of 11 mail ballot envelopes, over half the time.
8 months ago, King
@GovSisolak
seized power with the promise that his royal edicts would keep the coronavirus under control. It didn't, even though most people followed them. It did destroy the economy and hurt students.
Rather than resigning in shame, he's re-seizing power.
Tens of thousands of ballots sent to wrong addresses. Legalized ballot harvesting. Clark County election officials reduced the confidence level to accept signatures to a score of 40 out of 100.
What could go wrong?
