Nevada: Deep dive into Esmeralda County Clerk recall effort and signature counting

A deep dive by the New York Times at the failure of the recall effort against Esmeralda County Clerk LaCinda Elgan, as well as the district attorney and county auditor (though I don't see any articles about those efforts). The article shows how they perform the actual counting of the signatures.

Elgan faced the recall from members of the Esmeralda County Republican Central Committee, over her rejection of a push to have hand counting of all ballots as part of false claims of election fraud from 2020. Elgan handcounted ballots in the past and found that they lined-up with the machine count, which was reportedly part of the reason for the recall.  Esmeralda held up approval of primary results in 2022. 

The article claims that there were 142 signatures handed in and they needed 114, 67 had problems, but it is not clear how many were thrown out. Other articles stated that petitioners needed 186 signatures to get on the ballot.
