The Initial Vote to Not Certify the 2024 Primary Election Results
The interview questioned Clark’s decision to prove accurate results and a proper use of tax dollars in two contested local primary races.
Legal Guidance and the Washoe County Attorney’s Advice
Washoe County Deputy DA Nathan Edwards, legal counsel for the commissioners, on a live broadcast (video below) on the county’s YouTube channel, July 9, 2024, advised the commissioners to “vote their conscious,” consistent with the laws and their rights. The three republican commissioners, Andriola, Clark, and Herman, then voted not to immediately approve certification of the local recounts, and to further investigate the election system and how it’s operated.
National Media Attention and Legal Threats from Nevada Officials
In response, Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar and Attorney General Aaron Ford filed a Writ of Mandamus with the Nevada Supreme Court, threatening criminal action and seeking sanctions against the commissioners.
Appointed Commissioner Andriola’s Shift and the Second Vote
Twenty-four hours later, appointed Commissioner Andriola announced she would change her vote and asked Washoe County Commission Chair Alexis Hill to schedule a second vote. At the second vote, Andriola and Clark certified the election. Herman stood firm in her refusal.
The Nevada Supreme Court’s Rejection of the Nevada Secretary of State Aguilar and Attorney General Aaron Ford Case
The Nevada Supreme Court then ruled the matter closed. However, Secretary Aguilar filed a petition to re-open the moot case to reign in “rogue commissioners” from exercising their will in future contests. The Nevada Supreme denied the petition, leaving open the specter of future litigation posed by Secretary Aguilar and Attorney General Ford.
