Judge Gloria Sturman, of the District Court for Clark County Nevada, is an Election Day hero. We need to come up with some sort of prize for no-nonsense women protecting the vote.

Trump wanted the early voting ballots from four locations in Clark County kept separate from other ballots. Presumably this was so his campaign could build a case that the Clark Country Registrar, Joe Gloria, kept the locations open past their close times and that people who were not on line by the 8pm close voted anyway. They also requested information about poll workers and people potentially in line at that time.

Judge Sturman was having none of it.

I can’t obligate him to do something he is already obligated to do. This is Election Day. He has other things to be doing.

She even threw in a Twitter dig at Team Trump.

Do you watch Twitter? There are internet trolls who could get this information and harass people who just want to help their fellow citizens vote.

Why would I order them to make available to you information about people who work at polls when its not already a public requirement to do so. So that those people can be harassed for doing their civic duty?

I’m just puzzled how you think you will use this evidence anyway.

Ha. Yes, Trump does “watch Twitter.” Classic.
