Russians Aren't the Only Foreigners Interfering in US Elections
“At the core of one person one vote is the principle of electoral equality, not that of equality of representation… making sure that each voter gets one vote—not two, five or ten…or one-half.” —Justice Alex Kozinski
Last week, the Nevada Secretary of State, Republican Barbara Cegavsky, announced that she had cleaned the state voting rolls as “routine maintenance” for the month of October. This routine maintenance removed 36,090 actively registered voters from the voting rolls and of this total, 17,616 were actively registered Democrats voters. These may not seem like large numbers, however, the state of Nevada is not a densely populated state and only two counties in the state drive our representation: Clark County (Las Vegas) and Washoe County (Carson City) where many districts can be decided by a handful of votes. President Donald Trump only lost Nevada by 27,000 votes and many of our incumbent Republican legislators lost by less than 1,000 votes.
Until the republicans get it through their thick skulls that to win they have to run like Trump.. eat the whole loaf.. don’t just nibble at it.
They are on full tilt.
In the 2016 election there were 10 Colorado counties that had more votes than registered voters. How does that happen?
Wasn’t it Philadelphia that had a Precinct that voted 120% for Obama? The voter corruption is strong in America.
Close your eyes, and it will all be over soon....
I do not understand the reluctance to aggressively combat this fraud
I still can’t understand that with the amount of voter fraud going on the Republicans haven’t come up with a voter ID law that will prevent it or drastically reduce it..
You mean like Indiana has had for years?
This is Bull $h!+ ,,, Virginia and New Jersey have long been considered blue states . Republicans only win there when their economy is hurting . No surprise here ,, these GOP candidates did not embrace Trumps agenda and that may have hurt their support ,,, just more RINOs .
Do you have those counties?
It was in the Denver Post, but seems to have been scrubbed. I live in Gilpin County and their turnout was 104% of registered voters. I think Summit County was 140%. I will look again to see if I can find it.
Because voter registrations don't clean themselves. It's a normal consequence. It does not mean there were more actual voters or votes in the election, it only means there are more names on the list.
People register, then move. New people register. The old names aren't purged. Eventually, you get more people registered than voters. By itself it is not a sign of fraud.
I think you misread what you were responding to...The quote says more votes than registered voters, not the other way around.
This was the opposite of what you describe. More votes than registered voters.
You’re right. I’ve seen the question I did answer posed multiple times and answered without reading it carefully.
Thanks, I want to ask the SOS about that.
This was from 2012 and speaks to registrations vs population, not votes to registrations. But the 10 counties and percentages match up with the numbers you had presented.
“A review of voter registration data for ten counties in Colorado details a pattern of voter bloat inflating registration rolls to numbers larger than the total voting age population. Using publicly available voter data and comparing it to U.S. Census records reveals the ten counties having a total registration ranging between 104 to 140 percent of the respective populations.”
Both parties pretty much agree on a lot of things.. and voter fraud is ok by both parties. The dems lie all the time and the repubs lie all the time but try to clean up their act right before an election.
So of the 36,000 voters removed, 17,000 were democrat, which means 19,000 were republican.
What point was the author making? That the purge was bad because it threw out more republicans than democrats? Or that the purge shows how many democrats should not have been on the rolls, and just ignores that more republican names were on the rolls?
Without knowing the partisan breakdown of the counties impacted by the 36,000 removals, we have no idea whether the ratio makes sense.
But it seems to benefit the Dems much more than the Repubs. Al Franken is a primary example of that by winning his first election because the Democratic Secretary of State allowed 360 felons to vote and he won by 312 votes.
