Nevada Officials Clash Over Certification of Primary Recount Results

Washoe County's refusal to certify recounts prompts legal action and concerns about election integrity

Washoe County Commissioners voted 3-2 against certifying the recount results of two primary races.
Officials cited alleged irregularities despite recounts showing consistent results with initial tallies.
Nevada Attorney General and Secretary of State filed a petition to force certification, calling the refusal unlawful.
The controversy echoes broader national disputes over election legitimacy since 2020.
A decision on whether to reconsider certification is scheduled for July 16.
