A recall effort has begun against Ward 6 Las Vegas City Councilwoman and Mayor Pro-Tem Michele Fiore.

Nevada Republicans out-registered Democrats for the second month in a row, according to the secretary of state’s office.

Democrats have dropped efforts to block the state’s mail-in primary election June 9 after Clark County agreed to provide more in-person polling places in Las Vegas and election officials agreed to other changes intended to protect the rights of elderly and disadvantaged voters.

Nevada’s plan to conduct its June 9 primary election mostly by mail survived its first legal test in federal court Thursday when a judge upheld the state’s authority to change the normal procedures in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A U.S. judge in Reno plans to hear Wednesday from lawyers for Democrats and conservative voting rights activists who are challenging — for different reasons — plans to conduct Nevada’s primary election predominantly by mail because of COVID-19.
