A Nevada judge on Thursday rejected a Republican National Committee claim that election officials in Las Vegas — the area with most of the state’s Democratic voters — "stacked" the makeup of a mail ballot signature verification panel against the GOP.
Judge Timothy Williams said in a brief written decision posted in the court record that the party affiliations of temporary workers hired to help the Clark County registrar of voters process ballots isn't relevant.
"The county hires these workers from a temporary employment agency," the judge wrote, and they "simply perform ministerial functions" such as comparing voter signatures on mailed ballots with those on file with the state Department of Motor Vehicles.
Williams dismissed as "a big stretch" arguments by the RNC that the workers are assigned to a special election board with a membership that, according to state law, "must represent all political parties as equally as possible."
