County rejects challenge of 17,000 Democratic voters

Clark County has rebuffed efforts of a local Republican activist to revoke the voter registrations of about 17,100 inactive Democratic voters.

County Counsel Mary-Anne Miller wrote a letter Monday directing Clark County Registrar Larry Lomax not to accept the challenges from Dan Burdish.

The county maintains Burdish can only challenge voters in his precinct, which would narrow the number to just 116.

And the county believes that state law clearly defines what should be done with so-called "inactive" voters. Lomax said Burdish cannot download the names of inactive voters and challenge them without personal knowledge of where they live.
