| Complaint(s) | 11/16/2020: Complaint filed. | |
| Dispositive Ruling(s) | 12/02/2020: Order/Ruling, Plaintiff’s complaint is incorrectly styled as a petition for injunctive relief but is in fact a claim for an election contest under NRS 293.407, over which the district court does not have jurisdiction. Even if the court had jurisdiction and reached the merits, it held that no ballots were lost or destroyed and so plaintiff’s case fails. | |
