Am. Civil Liberties Union of Nev. v. Cty. of Nye (Ballot Issue)

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court partially granted an emergency petition for mandamus challenging three Nye County election procedures. It ordered the county to prevent premature disclosure of ballot-count information and to provide all legally authorized methods for verifying voter identity, but denied relief concerning the ADA touchscreen because the county represented that any voter who wanted to use it could do so without inquiry. The court also concluded that extraordinary relief was appropriate because of the election's urgency and public importance.
