US Judge in Nevada Says No Evidence Shows Voter Intimidation
By BOB CHRISTIE AND KEN RITTER, ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX — Nov 3, 2016, 8:32 PM ET
A federal judge in Las Vegas said Thursday 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 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."
Similar claims have been made in lawsuits filed in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Arizona, where a similar hearing was being held Thursday.
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.
