Over 300 people listed on Nevada’s voter rolls have confirmed they’ve moved and should no longer be included in the state’s active voter lists, according to a recent report.
The disclosure appeared in a Friday article by Citizen Outreach Foundation (COF) President Chuck Muth, whose Pigpen Project has been leading efforts to remove potentially ineligible registrants from Nevada’s voter rolls. The group uses government data to identify questionable registrations and collaborates with local election officials to maintain voter roll accuracy.
Despite often seeking assistance from Democrat Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar, the COF has encountered resistance from Nevada’s elections chief and his office. Over the past year, the secretary has issued memos to local clerks that seem aimed at hindering COF’s efforts to clean up voter rolls in the state.
On Aug. 27, Aguilar’s office issued a directive instructing local officials to stop processing affidavits submitted by the COF, prompting the organization to file lawsuits last month seeking compliance from clerks and registrars. While the suits were withdrawn due to technical issues, Muth told The Federalist he plans to re-file them after the 2024 general election.
To validate its claims, Muth shared that the COF sent out its own “confirmation letter” to a test group from the same list of challenged registrations. These letters informed recipients that their Nevada voter registration information might be incorrect and included a form for removal from voter records if they had moved and were no longer eligible to vote in Nevada.
After encountering resistance from Aguilar’s office, the COF included a self-addressed envelope for recipients to return the letters directly to the Pigpen Project.
According to Muth, the group received over 300 returned letters in a single day, with individuals confirming they had moved and requesting removal from Nevada’s voter rolls.
“This evidence proves our data is reliable and that the people we’re challenging have indeed moved,” Muth told The Federalist.
In the COF president’s article, a returned and completed form shows a registrant (with name and address redacted) confirming he had previously informed election officials about his move and is therefore ineligible to vote at the address listed on his record.
“How many times do I have to let you know I moved?” the person wrote.
Muth shared responses from others who returned the form to the COF, including one individual who noted her registered son “moved overseas and will not be voting in Nevada.”
“I realize that you cannot remove his name from the Clark County records at my request, but I wanted there to be an accounting for him,” she reportedly wrote in a letter accompanying the returned form. “If anyone votes under his name and old address, it would be a fraudulent vote. Just one of the reasons I am against voting by mail.”
Unlike most states, Nevada automatically sends ballots to individuals listed on its “active” registration lists for each election, unless they choose to opt out.
Muth told The Federalist that the returned letters further undermine Aguilar’s previous claims regarding the transparency and security of Nevada’s elections.
“They botched this thing,” Muth said. “The voter rolls are still dirty. We know it, and now we can prove it because the voters themselves are telling us, “Yeah, you identified us correctly. We moved.’”
