In a missive sent Friday, Dave McKeon, who wants to oust Cindy Lake as chair of the Clark County GOP, claimed he has registered 100 times more voters than she has.

A smiling sentinel, who refused to give his name or his employer, guarded the door to the small room, trying to obscure what was occurring inside.
The young man, who obviously worked for the luminary within, only stepped aside when Democratic legislative leaders trudged down the hallway and entered the inner sanctum for an audience.
