The Republican National Committee (RNC) slapped Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguliar with a lawsuit on Friday, alleging that the state has “impossibly high” v***r r**********n rolls.
The lawsuit alleges that the state of Nevada is failing to maintain the requirements of the National V***r R**********n Act (NVRA) which mandates that v**er rolls must keep “clean and accurate v***r r**********n records.” The RNC is alleging that according to their analysis, five of Nevada’s 17 counties have inflated v**er rolls which they say indicates a violation of the NVRA, the lawsuit claims.

“E******n integrity starts with clean v**er rolls, and that’s why the National V***r R**********n Act requires state officials to keep their rolls accurate and up-to-date,” RNC Co-Chair Michael Whatley wrote in a Monday press release. “Nevada has universal mail v****g and no v**er ID requirement, which makes Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar’s failure to comply with the NVRA and provide accurate v**er rolls all the more concerning. Securing clean v**er rolls in Nevada is a critical step towards ensuring that it will be easy to v**e and hard to c***t.”
“At least three Nevada counties have more registered v**ers than they have adult citizens who are over the age of 18,” the lawsuit alleges. “That number of v**ers is impossibly high.”
The lawsuit alleges that two counties in Nevada have active v***r r**********n rates that surpass 90% of adult citizens over the age of 18. That number, the RNC alleges in its lawsuit, “far eclipses” the v***r r**********n rate nationwide and at the state-level in e******ns recently.

The RNC filed a similar lawsuit in Michigan on March 13, against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. The lawsuit alleged that the state was failing to comply with the NVRA because numerous counties allegedly had “inflated v**er rolls.” As of March 14, the RNC had filed 79 e******n integrity lawsuits in 23 states in the 2024 e******n cycle.
Though many swing states still have some laws in place that Republicans have previously decried during the 2020 e******n, a recent Daily Caller investigation revealed that the RNC is currently working hand in hand with NRCC and the NRSC on an expansive e******n integrity effort. According to a Daily Caller analysis, at least seven battleground states are slated to deploy b****t drop-boxes and nearly all are likely to have no-excuse absentee v****g. Five swing states currently have two weeks of early v****g while numerous others will mail out absentee b****ts more than six weeks before e******n day.
As a part of the e******n integrity efforts, recently elected RNC Co-chair Laura Trump announced March 15 that the party would be partnering with popular conservative influencer Scott Presler to work on legal b****t chasing operations.
“But we also have to start thinking about legal b****t harvesting, something we have never embraced as a party. We are going to start doing it now. I am going to have a call very soon with Scott Presler, who is an amazing v**er registerer. He has registered so many people in this country. I think he is fantastic. I want him on our legal b****t harvesting division,” Trump said while appearing on Benny Johnson’s podcast.
