A Nevada judge was none too pleased when Trump campaign lawyers asked for a list of poll workers’ names today. The poll workers in question had allegedly kept certain polling places in the greater Las Vegas area with high Latino populations open later than planned on early voting nights.

Judge Gloria Sturman convened an emergency hearing, which was live-streamed online. The second the lawyers asked for the names, she was no-nonsense.
