Every state has rules about what poll observers can do at the polls and how votes can be challenged. Here are the rules for your state:

Nevada The county clerk shall allow members of the general public to observe the conduct of voting at a polling place. A member of the general public does not include any person who: gathers information for communication to the public; is employed or engaged by or has contracted with a newspaper, periodical, press association, or radio or television station; and is acting solely within his or her professional capacity. (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 293.274).
