In an abrupt reversal, a majority of commissioners in the Reno, Nevada area voted to certify the results of two local elections, one week after three Republicans on the five-member board blocked the certification.
Two of the Washoe County Commission members who voted against certification last week, Clara Andriola and Michael Clark, changed their votes, saying they learned that the law required a “yes” vote. The third, Commissioner Jeanne Herman, held her ground.
The vote is a test run for November, when the same commission will be responsible for certifying the results of the presidential, statewide and local races. Home to Reno, Washoe County is Nevada's second largest after Clark County around Las Vegas. The closely divided swing county may decide who wins elections in the battleground state.
