(Chuck Muth) – In a Las Vegas Sun article published today, Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar said…
“We do not have widespread voter fraud. … There’s also voter ID within the voter registration process to prove identity of the voter.”
Note the “widespread” qualifier he and other “election fraud deniers” use. He knows there’s fraud – it’s been documented – so he has to say there’s not “a lot” of it.
Which always reminds me of this quote by former U.S. Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams…
“If even one vote has been illegally cast or if the integrity of just one election official is compromised, it diminishes faith in the process.”
So how much fraud is acceptable to the Secretary? What if a race is decided by, you know, one vote – as has happened multiple times?
It doesn’t have to be “widespread” to affect a close race – such as Stavros Anthony’s 2020 county commission race which was decided by 15 votes out of over 150,000 cast!
Also, voting fraud is almost impossible to find…especially when the Secretary isn’t even looking for it.
Last April, I found an example of a voter who had moved to Texas and voted in the 2022 general election there. But a mail-in ballot was also cast in his name in Nevada in that same election.
So I filed an official Election Integrity Complaint with the SOS. Two months later I got an email saying they had “closed” the case without explanation.
So much for Aguilar’s commitment to “transparency.”
And his argument against photo ID is perhaps the dumbest possible and defies reality.
The problem isn’t in presenting an ID to register to vote; it’s when someone shows up to vote. Just because someone showed the proper ID to register doesn’t mean someone can’t try to cast an illegal ballot in the voter’s name, especially a mail-in ballot.
Try showing up at the airport and tell the TSA guy that you showed your ID when you bought your ticket so you shouldn’t have to show it at the gate. Good luck with that.
Is our Secretary of State clueless or being intentionally disingenuous? Or maybe a little of both?
In addition, Senate Minority Leader Robin Titus blew the whistle this week on a new program Aguilar has implemented to “spam-text” under-24 voters encouraging them to get out and vote.
“Why is the Secretary of State using taxpayer money to solely turnout this demographic that gives clear partisan strategic advantage to one party?” Sen. Titus asked in an op-ed published by Nevada News & Views.
“Is it really the role of the Secretary of State’s office to use taxpayer money to turnout their party’s most advantageous generational demographic?” Titus continued. “The answer is an unequivocal no.”
And don’t even get me started on the Secretary’s refusal to clean up the voter files. What we discovered a couple days ago is going to embarrass the heck out of him. The Secretary should have worked with us when we asked, not against us.
If this is an issue of interest to you, I encourage you to sign up for email updates for our Pigpen Project. I’ll “bring the receipts” this week. It’s not pretty.

CANDIDATE RECOMMENDATIONS
For my most up-to-date list of recommendations, click here.
NOTE: These recommendations are subject to change right up through Election Day.
THE REAL JACKY ROSEN
“The public image (Rosen) puts forward is that of a moderate who works with both sides of the aisle in a bipartisan fashion. But her actual voting record tells a totally different story. Sen. Rosen voted with Biden 98.6% of the time…” – The Other Side of Jacky Rosen
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“You have to tell Kamala Harris that you’ve had enough, that you just can’t take it anymore. We can’t stand you anymore. You’re a sh*t vice president. The worst. You’re the worst vice president. Kamala, you’re fired! Get the hell out of here.” – Donald Trump at rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday
“I had this conversation with my wife. She said, ‘There’s part of me that looks at Kamala and says, well, she would be the first woman minority president.’ And I said to her, ‘Wouldn’t you feel happier if you waited a couple of years for Tulsi.’” – RFK, Jr.
“The ballot number totals are in, including mail from Clark County (Vegas), for the 1st day of early vote statewide: Democrats only have a lead of 1,721 so far. For comparison to 2020, Democrats had a 40,000 lead to Republicans on 1st day of early vote.” – Courtney Weaver
“If the stakes weren’t so high, I’d be voting for Janine Hansen (IAP) for Nevada U.S. Senate. Janine is thoughtful, knowledgeable and very active in Nevada state legislative politics. However, we really do need to ditch the totally incompetent Jacky Rosen who is the least qualified to be a member of the world’s greatest deliberative body. I will therefore be voting for Captain Sam Brown.” – Stephen Allott
