Poll Worker Says He Was Refused When He Tried to Monitor Vote in Nevada
A Trump supporter who attempted to monitor the counting of ballots in Nevada says he was asked to leave as votes were still being counted on Election Night.
The man, who claimed he was stereotyped for his Trump support, alleges he was denied access to observe counting, and at one point was asked why he was there.
“The question was asked at 1:30 in the morning, ‘Why are you here?’ And my response was, ‘Well, it’s Election Night. That’s why we’re here, and you guys are obviously counting ballots.”
“It was unique because they said they had an hour and a half left of counting to do, and an official came out… and asked us to sign documents, and a few moments later we were asked to leave.”
“I find it ironic we were asked to leave within 10 to 12 minutes when they said they had an hour and a half of counting to do.”
Votes were still being counted in Clark County, Nevada, on Thursday, two days after Election Day. The state and its 6 electoral votes went to Hillary Clinton in 2016.
