President Trump shared tonight that he believes there has been a “Big victory moments ago in the State of Nevada.”
“The all Democrat County Commissioner race, on same ballot as President, just thrown out because of large scale voter discrepancy,” Trump explained.
Trump said that “Clark County officials do not have confidence in their own election security. Major impact!”
Adam Paul Laxalt is the co-chair of the Trump campaign in Nevada and he was the one who alerted the president to the situation as he said that “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.”

Laxalt had retweeted Megan Messerly of the Nevada Independent who was live-tweeting the canvass that was occurring in the county, which went to Joe Biden 54% -44%.
In the county, Biden received roughly 120,000 more votes than Hillary Clinton did in 2016 and Trump received 111,000 more votes than he did in the last election.
Messerly reported that Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria on the Clark County Commission District C race: “We have found discrepancies that we can’t explain that would cast a doubt on whether or not that margin of victory is solid.”

In an apparent attempt to downplay the situation however, she then reported that “Gloria notes that the ONLY race they have an issue with is the Commission District C race.”
The race had a 10-vote margin of difference between the two candidates, Stavros Anthony and Ross Miller. “That’s the only race in the entire election we have any concern related to the outcome. And it’s because of the margin,” Gloria said.

Clark County Commissioner Larry Brown made a motion to accept the results of the election except in County Commission District C. The Clark County Commission ultimately approved the motion and the results of the election in Clark County are now certified except for District C.
