According to ABC station KNTV, More than 57,000 people had voted in
Clark County Friday as of 10 p.m., breaking a record for single-day
early voting.
As Donald Trump
swept his campaign across the country in a final sprint, he claimed
that long lines in Clark County, Nevada, were evidence of electoral
wrongdoing.
"It’s being reported that certain key Democratic polling locations in
Clark County were kept open for hours and hours beyond closing time to
bus and bring Democratic voters in," Trump said.
"Folks, it's a rigged system. It's a rigged system. And we're going to beat it," he said.
Before Trump took the stage, Michael McDonald, the state chairman of the Nevada Republican Party seemed to assert that the polls were staying open to allow for "a certain group" to vote.
"Last night in Clark County. They kept a poll open until 10 o’clock at
night so a certain group could vote. It wasn’t in an area that normally
has high transition," he said. "You think this is a free and easy
election?"
Clark County, according to the latest Census data, is over 30 percent
Hispanic; registration numbers show Democrats out-registered
Republicans.
