Election 2020 updates: Biden warns of 'dark winter,' pushes masks in pandemic plan

A Nevada district court judge denied an emergency injunction request by Nevada GOP groups for Clark County to stop using its signature-verification machines and to give more leeway to ballot-counting observers.

Judge James Gordon said he didn't think the plaintiffs came to the court with "sufficient evidence" to get what is required of the "extraordinary relief of an injunction" that would get him to "dictate how Clark County should do their job."

The injunctive relief directed poll workers to manually check all ballot signatures instead of using the machines. Gordon noted that halting the use of the signature-verification machines, which verify about 30% of signatures on ballots, leaving 70% to be done manually already, would significantly delay results.

"The public interest is not in favor of disrupting the processing and counting of the ballots," he said.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency pushed back on claims there were counterfeit ballots.

The agency, a component of the Department of Homeland Security, did not mention Trump by name.

"Local election offices have security and detection measures in place that make it highly difficult to commit fraud through counterfeit ballots," the agency said on its rumor control page. "While the specific measures vary, in accordance with state and local election laws and practices, ballot security measures can include signature matching, information checks, barcodes, watermarks, and precise paper weights."

In a subsequent tweet,  Director Chris Krebs said there was disinformation floating around that CISA printed ballots, which is untrue.
