The Shadow Over Nevada

Despite going after and winning two convictions in 2008’s ACORN “Blackjacking” where canvassers were paid based on the number of voters registered, Nevada’s Secretary of State Ross Miller accepted funding from the SoS Project (SSP) two-years earlier.  The donation tainted Miller’s reputation.

The SSP was created by the Democracy Alliance in 2005, funded by George Soros and made itself known during the 2010 U.S. Senate race between Republican U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle and incumbent Democrat Harry Reid. Though leading in state polls,  Angle lost to Reid by nearly five-percentage points.

While Clark and Washoe Counties carried the majority of voters for Reid, the surprise was Mineral County, which polled less than two-percentage points in favor of the incumbent. Historically, Mineral County never carried Democrat during a national election, which left many Nevadan’s shaking their head.

In Clark County, Reid’s son, Rory Reid, while a candidate for Nevada Governor, was in charge of the voting machines that were malfunctioning and being repaired by members of Service Employees International Union. The SEIU is one of the five major unions, forming “The Shadow Democratic Party,” also funded by Soros.

Critics charged the voting machines were rigged to place check marks next to Senator’s name before a person had even voted. In the end and after an investigation, Secretary of State Ross Miller’s office concluded no fraud occurred.
