The Republican National Committee (RNC) and the Nevada GOP have sued the Nevada Secretary of State, alleging that the state has “impossibly high” voter registration rolls.
“At least three Nevada counties have more registered voters than they have adult citizens who are over the age of 18. That number of voters is impossibly high,” the lawsuit reads.
Two Nevada counties have active voter registration rates greater than 90% of adult citizens over the age of 18, a figure that “far eclipses the national and statewide voter registration rate in recent elections.”
“Election integrity starts with clean voter rolls, and that’s why the National Voter Registration Act requires state officials to keep their rolls accurate and up-to-date. Nevada has universal mail voting and no voter ID requirement, which makes Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar’s failure to comply with the NVRA and provide accurate voter rolls all the more concerning,” RNC Chairman Michael Whatley said in a statement. “Securing clean voter rolls in Nevada is a critical step towards ensuring that it will be easy to vote and hard to cheat.”
The RNC filed a similar lawsuit against Michigan’s Secretary of State on March 13th.
In that complaint, the RNC claimed that “at least 53 Michigan counties have more active registered voters than they have adult citizens who are over the age of 18. That number of voters is impossibly high.”
