As of November 18, 2020, the election for Clark County Commission District C was the subject of ongoing litigation. Preliminary election results showed Ross Miller (D) leading Stavros S. Anthony (R) by 10 votes out of 153,162 cast.[1] The Clark County Commission declined to certify the results and called for a special election to be held for the District C seat after Registrar of Voters Joe Gloria reported 139 ballot discrepancies in the district. Ross Miller sued the Clark County Commission on November 17 to call for the election results to be certified and the special election canceled.[1] Click here for more information.
