Incredulous Nevada judge slaps down Trump’s ‘voter fraud’ suit: ‘What are you asking for?’
Source: RawStory
Donald Trumps presidential campaign sued the state of Nevada on Tuesday and alleged that hundreds of voters in Clark County were illegally allowed to vote after early voting hours had ended.
Judge Gloria Sturman, who heard the campaigns case on Tuesday afternoon, sounded highly skeptical of the lawsuit and often seemed incredulous at the Trump camps claims and requests.
In particular, she couldnt seem to believe that the Trump campaign was asking her to order Clark County officials to preserve early voting records from the date of November 4th 2016. Sturman answered this request by noting that officials are already obligated to preserve these records. What are you asking for? she asked a Trump attorney at one point. I cant obligate him to do something hes already obligated to do hes already obligated to do it!
Sturman also blasted the Trump attorneys request to make a list of poll workers available to be interviewed by the campaigns attorneys to talk about when they cut off voting on Friday evening.
I am not going to expose people doing their civic duty to help their fellow citizens vote to public attention, ridicule and harassment, she shot back at him.

(5,810 posts)Their case! Not knowing it was already a requirement shows some shoddy prep work. Sounds like business as usual with the tRump campaign.

(43,190 posts)is not going to go very well. Attempts to discern who voted, who they voted for,
who allowed them to vote, matching the order of vote count with individual voters -
voters have a secret ballot. They don't have to tell anyone who they voted for, or
against, or why. All they have to do is vote.

(1,527 posts)And somehow this is bad, or "voter fraud"?
I am gobsmacked that this is even an argument... much less a lawsuit.
We really do not even know if they shut off the line and just accommodated people already in line which it exactly what they should do. Maybe they let some late comers also join the line after "official" hours, but this was early voting, but that was not established as far as I could tell. It is not like they were extending the hours artificially tonight.
THIS is their voter fraud?!!!
