The Nevada Secretary of State (SOS) and Attorney General (AG) pressured the Washoe County Commissioners to certify a manipulated and fraudulent election through the recount certification process.
They threatened the commissioners with criminal prosecution and removal from office if they did not comply or face punishment by law and removal from office if proven guilty. It is what extortion looks like.
Every race was affected by massive vote manipulation. The evidence shows the changing of 21,000 ballots, disenfranchising voters. A hand recount would have revealed over 35,000 manipulated ballots and votes, making nearly 43 percent of the election fraudulent.
Using official Washoe County data, certified as accurate via the Cast Vote Record (CVR), a factual minimum of 3,527 Republican-styled ballots were destroyed, with a speculative number of 4,186.
The destroyed ballots were substituted with an equal number of nonpartisan ballots and recast again for Angela Orr in the nonpartisan board election, just reaching the 50 percent +1 requirement. The replacement process needed to create a new paper trail because of the variations in ballot formats.
A court-authorized hand count was necessary to absolve the Registrar of Voters from wrongdoing. The hand count would have revealed discrepancies in the flipped ballot styles within the electronic CVR had the paper trail not been backfilled.
Republican ballots cast for Walter Grady in the Republican Senate Primary were also a target for destruction. The vote totals were calculated using equations over precincts, similar to methods used in previous elections across Nevada. These methods show that replacement ballots were used in other nonpartisan races to benefit the winners.
In nonpartisan primaries, any candidate who receives 50 percent of the vote wins the general election, making it crucial to investigate Orr’s 51.09 percent win in the nonpartisan State Education Board race and Alex Woodley’s 52.09 percent win in the nonpartisan School Trust Race (District E). The remaining mail-in totals for many Republican Senate candidates are so small that reconstructing their original totals before ballot deletion is impossible.
The election represents a 13.4 sigma anomaly. Instructions are provided on calculating the 13.4 sigma value, indicating the chance of this event is effectively zero.
When considering the superimposed timelines of Democrats and Nonpartisans in the mail-in vote, the speculative number of manipulated votes is between 17,635 and 20,930, not accounting for irregularities in the early vote.
The Court was asked to order a new election for all 2024 Washoe Primary Races, conducted in-person and hand-counted at the precinct level. One Democrat and Republican referee would have counted the ballots publicly, allowing any Washoe County resident to observe the process on video. If the new election results differed from the original, the Nevada Supreme Court was to step in to eliminate the use of voting machines.
In a 4-1 vote, after hours of public comment, the Washoe County Commission reversed its previous decision and certified two recounts from the June primary election on Tuesday, July 16. Commissioner Jeanne Herman was the sole dissenting vote.
Vice Chairwoman Herman stated there is no appetite to ensure safe and honest elections. Commissioners Clara Andriola and Mike Clark voted to certify under duress, with Clark expressing regret and citing legal threats as the reason for his changed vote.
The failure to certify initially led Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar and Attorney General Aaron Ford to file a Writ of Mandamus with the Nevada Supreme Court. They claimed the refusal to certify set a dangerous precedent.
At the recent meeting, Clark blamed the undermining of voter confidence on County Manager Eric Brown, citing a 2023 audit that found election processes error-prone and confusing. Clark criticized Brown’s leadership and called for a legislative fix to restore trust in elections.
Republican Commissioners Herman and Clark, supported by a far-right movement within the county, have consistently voted against certification. On Tuesday, Clark changed his vote under legal pressure as Andriola expressed increased confidence in the election process after meeting with the county’s interim registrar of voters and the district attorney’s office.
Public comments included calls for a hand recount or a complete redoing of the election. Commissioner Herman stood firm against certification, citing constituent reports of fraud and voter hardships.
Questions remain as to why the AG and the Washoe County District Attorney’s Office are so resistant to investigating election fraud claims if the elections are as secure as claimed. The legal threats and Writ of Mandamus indicate a fear of what an investigation might reveal.
It is well documented in this blog that election fraud in Washoe County is extensive, with up to 43 percent of the vote rigged, especially in mail-in voting, and calls for a new in-person, hand-counted election.
As a final note and as a way of personal commentary, we have a public that cares about how fair and honest our elections are. What is not available are honest bureaucrats, department heads, law enforcement, judiciary, and local media.
At every turn, the public is ignored or turned into an election-denying conspiracy theorist. Furthermore, this reporter and his blog have remained shadowbanned despite several name and Internet address changes.
