PAHRUMP, Nev. (AP) — Volunteers began an unprecedented hand count of votes Wednesday in a rural Nevada county where voting machine conspiracy theories prompted mistrust. They came face-to-face with the reality of how time-consuming it is. The American Civil Liberties Union unsuccessfully tried to stop Nye County’s plan to count the votes ahead of Election Day, warning that it could lead to the early release of results. ACLU Nevada chief Athar Haseebullah says he sees a disaster brewing. He said the ACLU would file a new petition with the Nevada Supreme Court. Interim Nye County Clerk Mark Kampf called it a “pretty successful” first day.
