Republican Claims of Voting Irregularities in Nevada Flopped Before a Federal Judge
Source: Law & Crime
Nevada Republican claims about voting irregularities in the 2020 presidential election were rejected by a state court earlier this week, only to fall apart even more under media scrutiny. On Friday afternoon, a federal judge had his turn skewering the legal theories and evidence brought by the same legal team.
“I don’t think the plaintiffs have demonstrated a likelihood of success,” U.S. District Judge Andrew Gordon ruled toward the end of a more than two-hour hearing.
The case that landed in Judge Gordon’s courtroom is that of Jill Stokke, a 79-year-old legally blind Nevada woman whose claims about voting irregularities are described by officials there as unfounded. Skokke’s case was quickly touted by the Trump campaign and became a cause célèbre for local Republicans. Her co-plaintiffs include two Republican congressional campaigns belonging to James Marchant and Daniel Rodimer, both of whom are on the losing side of their respective races. Marchant already has lost his race to his Democratic opponent Steven Horsford.
Some of Stokke’s claims clearly contradict each other. Her civil complaint states that she cast her ballot on Election Day, but her sworn affidavit said that she participated in early voting on Oct. 28.
