LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A Las Vegas election worker claimed she was attacked at a bus stop. The 8 News Now Investigators have learned Metro Police are investigating her claims, and both Clark County and the Nevada Secretary of State’s office are looking into the matter.
“We can confirm that an incident did occur regarding a temporary election worker at a bus stop,” a county spokesperson wrote in an email to the 8 News Now Investigators Monday. “We are still looking into this isolated incident.”
Brandi Lapriore said she was waiting at a bus stop on Eastern Avenue near Bonanza on the evening of Oct. 26 when a man initially asked her when the bus was expected to arrive and then tried talking about politics.
“He was like, ‘So did you see the podcast with Joe Rogan and Donald Trump?’ I was like, ‘Nope, I’m not interested,’” Lapriore told the 8 News Now Investigators. “I said, ‘I don’t even talk about politics at work. It’s not something that we discuss.’”
Lapriore said the man then asked her questions about the Constitution. After Lapriore repeatedly asked him to leave her alone, she said he attacked her.
