Nevada's Washoe County votes against certifying recount results of 2 local primaries
CBSN
Commissioners in Washoe County, Nevada's second most populous county, refused Tuesday to certify the results of local recounts from two June primaries, an unusual move that may have implications for the presidential race in one of the nation's battleground states.
The three Republican members on the five-member Washoe County Board of Commissioners voted to reject the results of the recounts in one race for a commission seat and another for a local school board seat. It's not clear what will happens next.
There's been no comment from the county elections department, the district attorney's office or the state attorney general. A request for comment from the secretary of state was not immediately returned.
