Nevada Lawsuit 

Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump earlier sued the registrar of voters in Clark County, Nevada, over a polling place in Las Vegas that was allowed to remain open late to accommodate people who were lined up to vote.

Meanwhile the Nevada judge has rejected the emergency lawsuit by Donald Trump who is suing to isolate the early voting ballots from four voting locations.

Trump’s lawsuit, filed in a Nevada state court on Monday, said election officials violated state law because they allowed people to join the line after 8 p.m. at a polling location at a Latino market.
