On Tuesday, Esmeralda County commissioners voted to ask their county clerk to use paper ballots and count them by hand for all future elections, rather than use electronic voting equipment, The Nevada Independent reported.
Esmeralda County clerk and treasurer LaCinda Elgan responded to Marchant's presentation by saying the electronic voting machines the county uses have not been connected to the internet and that there are multiple tests and security measure to ensure the accurate counting and recording of votes.
Nye County commissioners in March also voted to ask their county clerk to use paper ballots and hand-counting for elections, following a presentation from Marchant regarding the measures, according to the Nevada Current.
Before the Nye County commissioners vote, Nye County Clerk Sandra Merlino said, "I'm not saying, 'no I will not.' I just think I need to get past the primary because we are so far in," according to the Current.
The county clerk, Lisa Lloyd, was against the measure, saying that machines count better than humans and the commissioners should wait to see how Nye County's hand-counting works in the November election.
Elko County commissioners are to receive an update from the county clerk on Wednesday regarding alternatives to Dominion, such as paper ballots or a different voting machine supplier.
On Thursday, Lyon County commissioners are planning on discussing similar measures to what Esmeralda and Nye counties voted on.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
