A Nevada judge denied a state Republican Party’s request to amend the signature verification procedure on ballots Friday, as the battleground state has yet to release their full voting totals.

District Court Judge Andrew Gordon denied the motion set forth by two GOP candidates in the state and said the change in the process would disrupt “the counting of the ballots,” according to Fox News.

“I don’t find plaintiffs have demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits of the plaintiffs’ claims,” Gordon said, according to Fox. “The public interest is not in disrupting the counting of the ballots.”

Nevada Republicans sought a recount of only mail-in ballots, but Democratic lawmakers insisted the move would cause “chaos and confusion,” Fox reported.
