A Dec. 3 hearing has been set for the Trump Campaign in their challenge to Clark County's election machines. 

Nevada Independent reporter Michelle Rindels live tweeted the hearing. 

“We will have whistleblower testimony showing that overnight, the disks that were used to hold votes would magically have votes appear and reappear on the same desk," a Trump attorney told Carson City Judge James Russell. 

The Trump campaign is only allowed to depose 15 witnesses prior to Monday's hearing. 

"[T]he complaint is kind of a very limited nature, challenging basically the machine used in Clark County," Russell said. 

The Trump campaign recently made claims that there were 15,000 voters who voted in both Nevada and another state. Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt said in a news conference earlier this month that the issue involved absentee voting. 

“What we are providing today in this lawsuit is that many of these votes were improperly cast,” Laxalt said. “We are presenting today in our formal contest that there are north of 15,000 people who voted in Nevada and another state. 

Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria has even questioned how valid the county’s votes are, after saying they have found discrepancies. He told the Las Vegas Record that there could be a special election for at least one seat — the seat for secretary of state, which has a margin of only 10 votes. 

The Las Vegas Record also reported there was a ballot signature verification test a Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist conducted in which Clark County failed.

Columnist Victor Joecks wrote on nine separate ballot return envelopes and his signature was accepted eight times. 

Joecks wrote that he signed voters names in his own handwriting on the envelopes. When he brought his findings to Gloria’s office he was informed the office didn’t even have an investigation team to look at allegations.

“So if a criminal doesn’t admit he committed voter fraud, Clark County is unlikely to find out about it,” Joecks said in the Las Vegas Review-Journal column. “Willful ignorance isn’t an election security strategy.”
