Clark County violated Nevada and federal law by prematurely deleting communication records related to its voter registration lists, an audit published on Thursday claims. In a litigation notice sent to Clark County Registrar Lorena Portillo on Tuesday, Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections (RITE) asserted that Nevada’s most populous county violated the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) and several state laws by deleting most of its election-related communications after six months. The NVRA requires states to “maintain for at least 2 years” and “make available for public inspection … all records concerning the implementation of programs and activities conducted for...

A Nevada grand jury on Wednesday indicted six Republicans who submitted certificates to Congress falsely declaring Donald Trump the winner of the 2020 presidential election in their state, making Nevada the third to seek charges against so-called “fake electors.” “We cannot allow attacks on democracy to go unchallenged,” Nevada’s Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford said in a statement Wednesday. “Today’s indictments are the product of a long and thorough investigation, and as we pursue this prosecution, I am confident that our judicial system will see justice done.” The fake electors — involved in the state GOP or Clark County GOP...

Chandler Jones was arrested in Las Vegas on Friday morning, a day after the Raiders star’s bizarre social media allegations and behavior. Jones was booked into Clark County Detention Center on charges of violating a domestic violence protective order. On Thursday, the Super Bowl champion took to social media, crying in a livestream and baselessly implicating Raiders coach Josh McDaniels — the former Patriots offensive coordinator — in the death of Jones’ ex-New England teammate Aaron Hernandez. Hernandez took his own life in prison on Apr. 19, 2017. The accusation came after he tweeted he was forced into a mental...

As Republican Adam Laxalt’s lead in the Nevada Senate race dwindles with 93% of the vote counted, his campaign is reportedly “bracing for a loss” and weighing asking for a recount. Laxalt is ahead of incumbent Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto by just 800 votes after 23,000 mail-in ballots were tabulated in Clark County on Friday. The results from the mail-in ballots are favoring Cortez Masto at a 2-1 rate. Clark County, home to Las Vegas, reportedly has about 27,000 mail-in ballots left to be counted.

One of America’s most contested midterm races, between Adam Laxalt and Catherine Cortez Masto, is coming to a head in Nevada. As of Thursday morning, Republican Mr Laxalt maintained a slight lead over Democratic incumbent Ms Cortez Masto in the Senate race with just over 79 per cent of votes counted, according to the New York Times. The race could still be subject to substantial shifts as two counties with the vast majority of voters - Clark and Washoe - continue to tabulate mail-in ballots late into Wednesday night with large margins for Democrats, according to the Nevada Independent. Those...

Nevada Republican U.S. Senate candidate Adam Laxalt and gubernatorial candidate Joe Lombardo are narrowly leading their incumbent Democrat opponents with the help of independent voters, a new Insider Advantage poll found. Roughly two weeks out from election day, Clark County Sheriff Lombardo (48.5 percent) is leading Silver State Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) by 6 points (42.8 percent), outside of the survey’s ±4.2 percent margin of error. Former state Attorney General Laxalt is also leading Sen.

The Nevada Police Union (NPU) said its members “overwhelmingly” have “no confidence” in Democrat Gov. Steve Sisolak, who is seeking reelection against Republican Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo. The NPU, which says it is the Silver State’s largest police union, held a vote with its members from Oct. 14 -17 resulting in “95.3 percent (451-22) of the voting members declaring ‘No Confidence’ in Governor Sisolak,” the union announced on Tuesday. The police union’s announcement comes just days after Sisolak lost the endorsement of a top teachers union and just weeks before a high-stakes, extremely close gubernatorial election.

The husband of Vice President Kamala Harris's newly appointed top advisor is embroiled in a bribery and corruption scandal that could bankrupt Sin City. Clark County Commissioner Justin Jones, 47, was a lawyer for an environmental group when, in 2018, he allegedly entered an 'illicit and corrupt deal' with Nevada's Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak, killing a property developer's plans for a high-density residential development on 2,400 acres near Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. Under his company, Gypsum Resources, and backed by his creditors, developer Jim Rhodes is now suing the county and its board of commissioners for damages that,...

This summer as Las Vegas deals with a continuing drought, Lake Mead continues to recede. As the lake recedes 5 different sets of human remains have been found in the dried-up lake and now one of the sets of remains has been identified. From NBC News: Skeletal remains found in drought-stricken Lake Mead in May have been identified as those of a 42-year-old man who was reported to have drowned two decades ago, a coroner has found.

If you think the results from the 2022 primary election seem to be posting slower than in previous years, you’d be correct. County Auditor Greg Kimsey said there’s a good reason why. Unlike most elections, when ballots tend to arrive in a steady stream throughout the two weeks prior to election day, most of the ballots for the Aug. 2 primary arrived on the last days of the election. Of the 143,140 ballots received by Clark County Elections for the primary, 65 percent — 92,275 ballots in all — arrived on the day before, day of, or day after primary...

More human remains have been found at Lake Mead, marking the third set discovered in the area since early May. On Monday, the National Park Service (NPS) was alerted about human remains at Lake Mead National Recreation Area around 4:30 p.m. local time, the NPS said in a news release. Park rangers arrived on the scene and blocked off the area to "recover the remains," NPS added. The Clark County Medical Examiner has been contacted to determine the cause of death. Authorities are still investigating, the NPS said, adding that "no further information is available at this time." The gripping...

A prolific car thief was sentenced to ten years in prison and had his driver's license revoked for life after he stole and stripped more than 100 vehicles with the help of his DMV worker girlfriend. Israel Fonseca, 39, would steal the cars, gut them for parts - taking everything from GPS systems to guns stored in glove compartments - and abandon them throughout the streets of Oregon's Multnomah, Clackamas, Marion and Clark counties. He targeted vehicles in movie theatre parking lots, outside malls or parked by the Moda Center sports arena in Portland. Owners would return to the parking...

Democrat super PACs are posing as Republicans and spending millions of dollars in Nevada’s Republican gubernatorial primary in an attempt to prevent former President Donald Trump’s pick, Joe Lombardo, from becoming the GOP nominee. Clark County Sheriff Lombardo, whom Trump recently endorsed, is now leading the Nevada GOP gubernatorial primary by 20 points less than one month away from the state’s June 14 primary election, according to a recent poll. Trump said: As Governor, Joe will fiercely Protect our under-siege Second Amendment, Oppose Sanctuary Cities, Support our Law Enforcement, Veto any Liberal Tax Increase, Protect Life, and Secure our Elections....

Former President Trump endorsed Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo (R) on Wednesday in the competitive GOP primary for Nevada governor, eschewing two other candidates seeking his support. One of those candidates, former Sen. Dean Heller (R), lost a reelection bid despite being endorsed by Trump in 2018.

The Clark County School District has confirmed that they are aware of the video that we posted earlier today of a girl being brutally beaten unconscious while students and teachers watched and even laughed in the background. Sadly, as usual CCSD seems more concerned with the video getting out and parents seeing what actually happens inside these schools than stopping the daily violence, riots, stabbings and assaults inside Las Vegas Schools. Warning the Video is Extremely Graphic! This would have been covered up just like the other daily assaults, stabbings & riots inside CCSD schools. Sad that they seem more...

For the last year, Nevada Democrats have been warring with each other over the past and future of their party. Senator Harry Reid, the state’s most successful politician, built a Democratic machine in the late 1990s and early 21st century that dominated local and national races up and down the ballot. But the machine suffered some setbacks in 2018 and 2020, leaving an opening for radicals to take control. The Democratic Socialists of America took over the party, and the Harry Reid faction didn’t much like it. They’ve been at war ever since. The Washoe County Democrats declared their independence...

We are in serious trouble in the United States of America. We have a mostly incoherent “president” that over half of America doesn’t believe was elected fairly. Joe Biden is likely taking orders from unelected people working behind the scenes with an agenda that is so evil that, if exposed by our dishonest media, would shock our nation to its core. 100 Percent Fed Up reports – On October 4, Barack Obama’s failed Supreme Court nominee turned Joe Biden’s Barack Obama’s Attorney General Merrick Garland sent a threatening note to warn parents of his plan to plant federal law enforcement...
