State judge rejects bid to nullify Biden election in Nevada
Source: AP
The Donald Trump campaign lost its bid Friday to overturn the results of the Nevada election and stop the state’s six Democratic presidential electors from voting for Joe Biden.
In a 35-page ruling, Judge James Todd Russell said he saw no clear or convincing proof “under any standard of evidence” that he should declare Trump the winner in Nevada or to nullify the results of the statewide presidential vote.
“Contestants did not prove ... that illegal votes were cast and counted that should have been rejected during the signature verification process, or legal votes were not counted that should have been accepted” in numbers that would have swayed the outcome, the judge said.
The judge acknowledged during a hearing Thursday the case was headed to the Nevada Supreme Court, where it is expected to get fast-track handling and a possible ruling before the Electoral College finalizes nationwide results in 10 days.

Russell was nominated to the court in 2006 by Republican Governor Kenny Guinn.
