Judge Andrew Gordon denied the request after a nearly two-hour hearing Friday afternoon, saying the lawsuit filed on behalf of two Republican congressional candidates and a Las Vegas voter who claimed someone else had fraudulently cast her mail ballot failed to produce enough evidence to warrant extraordinary legal intervention in Nevada’s election system.

The six-page lawsuit, which was touted in an early-morning press conference by Trump campaign officials, claims without evidence that “irregularities have plagued the election in Clark County,” citing alleged “lax” procedures for authenticating mail ballots and claiming that more than 3,000 ineligible voters have cast a ballot. It names Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske and Clark County Registrar of Voters Joe Gloria as defendants.
