Two notarized affidavits have been file again requesting an audit of the 2020 presidential election, including one in Lyon County.
The filings follow an official notice of maladministration served on Monday, June 7, to the office of Gov. Steve Sisolak, demanding a full forensic audit of the 2020 election. Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske’s office, other state officials, and county recorders were sent affidavits by certified mail.
Lyon County Recorder Margie Kassebaum rejected the affidavit in a form letter, citing the possibility of criminal charges should the filing be unlawful.
Kassebaum responded to Mindy Robinson, Rhonda Rau, Bonnie Taylor, and Deana Villei’s filing, saying they “have the right to request judicial review of this denial,” adding that if the refiling was not done “in such a manner that it may be lawfully recorded” and if “knowingly procuring” or causing a “false or forged instrument to be filed,” those filing may be found “guilty of a category C felony,” unless “a greater penalty is provided.”
Robinson, a Nevada Congressional District 3 candidate, said the state constitution is clear about proving an election is valid.
“It’s not about pushing for a certain party or wanting one candidate to win over the other,” Robinson said. “It’s about making sure our votes matter. Unlike a lawsuit where it would be our job to prove anything, these affidavits remind the state that it’s their job to prove to us there wasn’t a fraud.”
Neither Sisiolak nor Cegavske has responded to the affidavits sent to them.
