Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo announced the activation of the National Guard personnel to support public safety on Election Day.
The decision will see 60 members of the National Guard stationed in Carson City and Las Vegas on standby to assist state and local resources as necessary on Tuesday, November 5.
“As a first responder, I know first-hand the importance of being prepared, and this decision reflects my commitment to safety and preparedness on Election Day,” Lombardo said. “As always, I am deeply grateful to the men and women of our National Guard, and I appreciate their service to our state and country.”
National Guard members will remain on standby at designated facilities and assist law enforcement agencies if additional support is required. Their duties may include traffic management, building security, and ensuring clear lines of communication throughout the state.
Secretary of State Francisco V. Aguilar expressed his support for the activation.
“I share Governor Lombardo’s commitment to safety, preparedness, and transparency,” Aguilar said. “This proactive decision helps ensure that we’ve made the most of our available resources across Nevada. Our election officials and law enforcement leaders have been preparing for the November 5 election for years. This frees up their resources on Election Day so they can focus on delivering a safe and secure election.”
I wonder what Joe knows but ain’t saying.
