Washoe County Commissioners Jeanne Herman, Mike Clark, and Clara Andriola voted against certifying the primary election recount results on Tuesday, July 9.
Initially expected to last 30 to 45 minutes, the meeting 4.5 hours due to overwhelming public support. Numerous citizens voiced their concerns, presenting evidence and sharing personal experiences with the commissioners.
At least two reports show manipulation based on the certification provided by the county data. The refusal to certify the recount buys crucial time for the courts to rule on the necessity of a hand count. It also provides an opportunity to investigate the alleged manipulation further.
Concerns remain about how the media will portray the decision, with expectations that the focus may shift to the feasibility of a hand count. However, the possibility of a judge ruling in favor of the candidates or an election contest could force a hand count.
The Secretary of State’s office has not responded to the decision as of yet.
