Donald Trump Tantrums Over Hispanics Voting Legally in Nevada<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Donald Trump Tantrums Over Hispanics Voting Legally in Nevada:-<\/strong> For months Donald Trump has been saying he wants a wall built by Hispanics, and on the last day of early voting in Nevada he certainly got one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to an unprecedented Democratic Party push in the Latino community headed in part by fired-up Culinary Union Local 226, a line of last-minute early voters was so long that one polling place at a Cardenas Market had to be kept open until just after 10 p.m.\u2014three hours later than usual. Voters were packed tighter than the watermelons in the store\u2019s produce department.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yvanna Cancela, political director of Local 226, excitedly tweeted, \u201cLooks like Trump got his wall after all. A wall of beautiful voters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The time extension was legal, and the polling place was observed by officials from the Clark County Registrar of Voters office, but the last-night crush of humanity immediately raised a suspicion of favoritism or even fraud by the chairman of the Nevada Republican Party Michael McDonald, who seemed downright Trumpian at a Saturday rally in Reno.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLast night in Clark County, they kept a poll open \u2018til 10 o\u2019clock so that a certain group could vote,\u201d McDonald said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sound familiar? When you\u2019re losing, always remember to cry foul.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe polls are supposed to close at 7,\u201d McDonald continued, revealing his ignorance of the process. \u201cThis was kept open until 10. Yeah, you feel free right now? You think this is a free and easy election? That\u2019s why it\u2019s important.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Not that Trump needed any encouragement to chatter about the system being \u201crigged\u201d against him, but when he took the stage he chided, \u201cIt’s being reported that certain key Democratic polling locations in Clark County were kept open for hours and hours beyond closing time to bus and bring democratic voters in. Folks, it’s a rigged system. It’s a rigged system and we’re going to beat it. We’re going to beat it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Clark County\u2019s population is more than 30 percent Hispanic. More than 57,000 voters cast ballots on the final day in Clark County, surpassing <\/span>the high turnout in 2012 and setting a record. Many voters waited in line for hours at the Hispanic supermarket on Bonanza Road near Lamb Boulevard in the predominately Latino section of the the Las Vegas valley. They were greeted at one point by a clearly energized Catherine Cortez Masto, the former state Attorney General challenging Republican Rep. Joe Heck to fill Harry Reid\u2019s U.S. Senate seat.<\/span><\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t the only early voting polling location to remain open while registered voters were in line to cast their ballots, Clark County spokesperson Dan Kulin said.<\/span><\/p>\n

No one in line was turned away, and the final ballot was cast at 10:10 p.m. at Silverado Ranch \u2014several miles from the Mexican market that had become the focus of the state GOP chairman\u2019s fretting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Given an opportunity to clarify the inaccurate speculation from the campaign\u2019s Nevada surrogate, Trump Kellyanne Conway doubled down in a <\/span>
\nSunday \u201cState of the Union\u201d interview with CNN\u2019s Jake Tapper.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe just always want the laws followed and the rules followed, and I do predict that you’re going to see really long lines\u2014serpentine-like lines of Tuesday\u2014of folks there for Donald Trump on Tuesday,” she said, adding that she believes Hillary Clinton\u2019s campaign receives \u201cspecial favors and perhaps special rules.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Tapper reminded her that polls commonly are kept open so that those already in line can vote. That\u2019s the way it was in Clark County.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cIn reality, we did not extend the closing time,\u201d Kulin said. \u201cWe keep processing voters as long as they\u2019re there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the volume was higher than normal, the process remained the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFriday was a record-breaking single day of early voting turnout for us,\u201d the spokesman said. \u201cThe last day of early voting is typically the busiest, and certainly we saw that again on Friday. … We\u2019re there to help voters exercise their rights as citizens to vote. early voting helps make voting more convenient for the voters, and so when voters show up to vote early we will help them exercise their right.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
