LAS VEGAS (AP) — An attorney for a Republican candidate who lost a Las Vegas-area election by 15 votes asked the state Supreme Court on Wednesday to order a revote, citing a finding by the county elections chief that the discovery of 139 unspecified “discrepancies” made it impossible for him to certify the result.
However, a lawyer for Ross Miller, the Democratic candidate now serving on the Clark County Commission, argued that GOP candidate Stavros Anthony incorrectly invoked a state law covering the prevention of an election instead of filing a contest-of-election.
