of, the new clerk. i m the doer when it comes to that. reporter: he is overhauling how ballots are counted in the midterm. but in a debate earlier this year, he said this. i believe that donald trump won the 2020 election. do you still believe that? what i believe as clerk has nothing to do with what i believe as candidate. you re interviewing the nigh county clerk right now. and as a county clerk, i m responsible for total impartiality. but if you don t believe the system was legitimate in 2020 and created an error where 30,000-plus votes were not counted in the state correctly, isn t that problematic? i don t see it as being problematic at all because i m trying to increase voter confidence in the election. reporter: the system kampf plans to use in november? paper ballots followed by a hand
do you still believe that? what i believe as clerk has nothing to do what i believe as candidate. you are interviewing the nye county clerk right now , and as a nye county clerk , i am responsible for total impartiality. if you don t believe the system was legitimate in 2020, and create an era where 30,000 plus votes were not counted in the state correctly, is that not problematic? i don t see it as being problematic at all because i am trying to increase voter confidence in the election. the system conflicts used in november, paper ballot, followed by a hand count. why? distrust of machines, driven by 2020 conspiratorial lies about the dominion. in the election space, the machines that count the multiple layers of security. they are not connected to the internet. this is regulated throughout the country. that is a perspective. there are a lot of people, again, the voters in this county don t believe that.
