.ACLU sues Nevada county for plan to hand-count all paper ballots
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday, the state chapter accused Nye County officials of violating the state constitution and federal law, arguing the practice of beginning to hand-count mail-in ballots two weeks before Election Day risks the public release of early voting results. This, in turn, could put poll workers at risk of being charged with a misdemeanor, as state laws criminalize the release of early voting information.
Although Nye County will continue to use touch screens at polling places to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the ACLU argues in its lawsuit that the new policies will allow election workers to seek information regarding one’s disability or turn voters away based on “arbitrary decision making.” Doing so would violate the Help Americans Vote Act, the state chapter claims.
However, Nye County Clerk Mark Kampf has suggested the county may consider moving away from voting machines altogether in the future, according to the Associated Press.

Nevada is one of 10 states that allow local election offices to begin tabulating ballots before Election Day, but the machines that typically do that are programmed not to release results.
