Elko County will not hand count 2024 general election ballots
The Elko County Commission’s intention to hand count paper ballots for the November general election disappeared Tuesday more easily than its goal of dissipating concerns of election fraud.
After discussion among themselves and from community members and no response from the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office regarding its proposed plan to hand count the ballots, commissioners tabled the discussion until next year.
In order for the plan to be enacted in time for use in this year’s election, it would have needed to be submitted to the secretary of state’s office no later than Aug. 7 — the day of the meeting.
“We need to focus our efforts on getting either the secretary of state or the Legislature … to allow a different method of hand counting,” said Commissioner Rex Steninger
