Nevada Judge Denies Trump Request To Preserve Early Voting Ballots

NEVADA (CNN) -- A Nevada court judge denied a request Tuesday from Donald Trump campaign lawyers to issue an order directing a county registrar of voters to preserve and separate ballots from voting machines in four early voting sites in Clark County, Nevada.

Judge Gloria Sturman, of the District Court for Clark County Nevada, ruled from the bench, saying County Registrar of Voters Joe P. Gloria was already obligated by state law to maintain the records that the Trump campaign is seeking.

The judge at times expressed frustration with Brian Hardy, a lawyer for the Trump campaign.

"I am not ordering him (Gloria) to preserve anything," she said, adding, "This is Election Day. He has other things to be doing."
