Fears grow about election deniers' influence after bizarre decision in Nevada race

There is growing national concern about the risk of election deniers persuading local officials to refuse certification of legitimate voting outcomes after a bizarre situation unfolded in Nevada, where a county board commissioner denied certification to her own victory.

Washoe County Board Commissioner Clara Andriola won her primary in June by nearly 19 points over her main challenger, Mark Lawson. Lawson requested a recount, which showed the initial tally in the race was valid. 

And yet, at Tuesday's commission meeting, Andriola sided with two other Republican commissioners in agreeing to not certify the results of her own election.
