The Nevada Independent reports:
Attorney Joey Gilbert has filed an election contest lawsuit after initial results, and then a subsequent recount made at his request, showed he lost the Republican governor primary by about 26,000 votes to Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo.
Robert Beadles, a cryptocurrency millionaire and activist who funded the recount, wrote on his website that the lawsuit was filed Friday in Carson City District Court and will prove that “Joey Gilbert rightfully won the primary with 100% certainty.”
“It’s simple; we prove with mathematical certainty Joey Gilbert is the winner of the primary gubernatorial race and that he had over 55,000 votes taken from him,” Beadles wrote. “It’s a slam dunk case. We’ll post the suit, the exhibits, opinions, etc., as soon as the State publishes them.”
Salon reports:
The “expert mathematician” cited by Gilbert is infamous election conspiracy theorist Edward Solomon, who falsely claimed to have found evidence that the 2020 presidential election was rigged using an algorithm — a claim repeatedly debunked by expert fact-checkers, who noted that Solomon’s claims show a “basic misunderstanding of how vote counts work.”
Dominion Voting Systems, the voting tech company at the heart of one of Trumpworld’s debunked conspiracy theories, said in a lawsuit against right-wing network OAN that Solomon is a “convicted drug dealer who never graduated college and whose current job was setting up swing sets in Long Island, New York.”
Gilbert is currently “director of strategy” for America’s Frontline Doctors, the QAnon anti-vax group that made Dr. Demon Semen infamous.
UPDATE: The election contest lawsuit from Joey Gilbert alleges that Joe Lombardo’s win is a “mathematical impossibility,” and argues that once “statistically corrected,” totals will show Gilbert won the GOP governor primary by more than 55,000 votes. https://t.co/Eq3DzWOlHT
