Sues Nevada county on Election Day alleging “rigged” voting hours

On Election Day, the Trump campaign filed a lawsuit in Clark County, Nevada, alleging that polling places had been improperly kept open late during early voting to favor Democrats. Trump and state GOP officials cited the extension as proof of a “rigged system.” A judge aggressively rejected the suit, noting that state law required polls to stay open for voters already in line and criticizing the campaign for seeking to sequester ballots without evidence of fraud.

“We have to keep the system honest. We have a very, very serious situation with the whole process and I've been talking about the rigged system for a long time.” — Fox News interview (cited in coverage) Quote verified against source
