Judge Denies Trump’s Challenge to Early Voting in Heavily Latino Nevada County – WATCH
Judge Denies Trump’s Challenge to Early Voting in Heavily Latino Nevada County – WATCH
A district court judge in Nevada has rejected a suit from the Donald Trump campaign leveled against heavily Latino Clark County over alleged voting “anomalies.”
Trump’s lawyers claimed that voters were illegally allowed to vote on Friday after the polls were set to close, an action they said was coordinated by poll workers in conjunction with Democratic “activists.”
Judge Gloria Sturman ruled the Trump campaign missed a step in filing the suit and should have gone through Nevada’s Secretary of State first.
She also expressed concerns about releasing the identities of poll workers and exposing information in secret ballots, if the lawsuit went forward.
The county told the judge it preserved all the information the Trump campaign had said it wanted retained in the first place.
“The secretary of state is who tells us what she needs to do any investigation … you’ve jumped ahead a step,” Sturman said.
In the complaint filed overnight, the Trump campaign alleged that, in keeping polls open late Friday, Gloria’s actions “were not random and neutral in their effect, but very much appear to have been intentionally coordinated with Democratic activists in order to skew the vote unlawfully in favor of Democratic candidates.” […]
Long lines kept polls open past the 7 p.m.posted closing time on Friday, the final day of early voting in Nevada, at sites where officials say the last voter cast a ballot after 10 p.m. An attorney for [Clark County Registrar of Voters Joe] Glorio told Sturman that, unlike on Election Day, polls during early voting can stay open until there are no more people in line.
Trump’s lawyers say they will appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court.
Check out amazing video of Judge Sturman in today’s hearing expressing concern over the Trump campaign’s desire to release the name of poll workers–an action that would no doubt subject them to harassment.

Australian Cowboy Couple Makes The Case For Marriage Equality
Australian Cowboy Couple Makes The Case For Marriage Equality
Australia still — somehow! — does not have marriage equality. This is mostly due to a lack of backbone by their politicians, since an overwhelming majority of Australian voters supports the freedom to marry but there is still enough vocal resistance to make elected officials nervous about taking a stand.
As a result, the country’s seen a humiliating series of suggested solutions, but no actual solutions. There are a few marriage bills floating around in Parliament, but the parties are too cowardly to bring them to a vote. Some politicians have tried to duck the issue altogether by proposing a nationwide vote — which would be unbelievably expensive, incite violence against LGBT people, and ultimately be pointless and non-binding.
So while much of the world moves at a brisk pace towards marriage equality, Australia has remained stationary. Amidst this frustrating failure of leadership, Australia’s queer citizens are continuing to push their useless elected officials to do something, anything, to enact full federal equality.
A lovely new video highlights Dan and Miki, two farmers who’ve been together for six years. They seem like just the nicest guys, and they’ve got the talking points down to a T. “We don’t want anything more than anyone else, we just want the same,” says Miki. “We have now found our voice, and we’re not going anywhere.”
Dan adds, “People generally don’t bat an eyelid when Miki and I are living and working amongst other farmers. We’re just Dan and Miki, and these are our cattle.” Wonderful. Here’s hoping Dan and Miki become instant online celebrities, because we can think of nothing sweeter than to see a whole series of videos about their adorable affection and rugged life.

Seth Meyers Takes a Closer Look at the End of the 2016 Election – WATCH
Seth Meyers took a closer look on Monday night at how the 2016 election has come to an end.
In the final days of this campaign we have seen celebrity appearances on behalf of Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump b*tching about said appearances, the worst CNN split screen in history, the birth of the ‘Mazel Tov’ cocktail, the revelation that Ted Nugent’s genitals are black and blue, a horrific Trump mask, President Obama doing what he loves most–burning Trump, and the FBI announcing a big old ‘oopsie’ over its letter to congress.
Relive the end of the campaign with commentary from Seth (which makes this nightmare of an election somewhat fun and slightly less painful), below.
