The Nevada primary has come and gone, and some residents were aghast to learn they had voted even though they had not voted.
This from townhall.com.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that voters noticed irregularities in their voter histories on February 18. The state said it was a system glitch, which they hope to resolve soon.
They were clear that it had nothing to do with tabulations but the code that identifies Nevada voters and mail-in ballots that aren’t returned (via Las Vegas Review-Journal):
A bunch of people who lie about everything told me in 2020 this was impossible. https://t.co/srsaVWfjeU

After numerous Nevada voters saw irregularities in their voter history on Sunday, the secretary of state’s office said it has identified the issues and is fixing them, according to a statement Monday evening.
The office learned Sunday there were possible technical issues relating to Nevadans’ voting history for people who did not participate in the Feb. 6 presidential primary. It said elections and IT staff began working immediately with county clerks and registrars Monday morning.
It determined that the problem resulted in some counties not taking the proper steps to upload their voter registration. Every night each county uploads their voter registration to the secretary of state’s database, which executes code to create the statewide voter registration file that Nevadans see when they log into vote.nv.gov, according to the secretary of state’s office.

Las Vegas resident and registered Republican Daphne Lee said she and her family checked the secretary of state’s website on Sunday to see their voter history after she heard from a few people that their voting history was incorrect. The site showed that she and her family’s mail-in ballots were counted for the primary, even though none of them participated in the election. She tried to opt out of future mail-in ballots and was met with a message saying she was not currently registered to vote, and her voting history no longer existed.
In a phone interview, Lee said:
It’s just so frustrating. This makes everyone uncomfortable.
For the state officials trying to fix this mess, how do you reconcile saying:
This is an error that relates to the code used for when a voter is sent a mail ballot and does not return it; it has no connection in any way to vote tabulation, [and then people alleging the ballots they never mailed in were counted. It sounds like that’s more than a technical glitch, no]?
Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, and Tim Scott were the only participants in this worthless exercise in which Haley couldn’t beat “none of these candidates” in a humiliating blow to her 2024 campaign, however, someone please fix this discombobulated scam of election fraud.
The mechanization has again been proven to be fraught with error. The citizens of Nevada—and every other state—deserve better.
President Trump won all the state’s delegates two days later, with 99 percent of caucus-goers supporting a return of the MAGA train. Still, the fact that scores of GOP voters took the time to vote for no one should have the Haley campaign drafting some honorable exit.
Final thoughts: The mechanization of voting tabulators in Nevada denotes an absence of election integrity, plain and simple. Obviously, computers are not properly programmed to keep accurate records and “some counties not taking the proper steps to upload their voter registration” being put to blame for the malfunction speaks for continued problems waiting to happen.
The need for paper ballots, same-day in-person voting, and ID requirements has been repeatedly determined. By damn, make it happen!
