Under the guise of nonprofit, nonpartisan get-out-the-vote (GOTV) campaigns, Native American voter advocacy groups in Nevada handed out gift cards, electronics, clothing, and other items to voters in tribal areas, in many cases documenting the exchange of ballots for “prizes” on Facebook pages, sometimes even while wearing Joe Biden campaign gear.

Simply put, this is illegal. Offering voters anything of value in exchange for their vote is a violation of federal election law, and in some cases punishable by up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fines.

Funding for the Nevada Native Vote Projects (NNVP) appears to come from an umbrella group called Native Vote, an initiative of the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI.) The organization get its funding from tribal groups, charitable foundations, and major corporations.

It also gets millions in funding from the federal government.

More than a half-dozen government ‘partners’ are listed on NCAI’s supporters page, including the Department of the Interior, Department of Agriculture, the Small Business Administration, and the Environmental Protection Agency, among others. In 2018, federal agencies provided a total of more than $3 million to NCAI, according to the group’s own disclosures.

In the past few years, NNVP and NCAI have partnered with the advocacy group Four Directions, jointly producing a voter guide in 2012 and co-hosting a first-ever presidential forum in 2019, focused on Native American issues.

In January 2020, Four Directions co-hosted their second presidential forum in Las Vegas. The donations for that forum, as well as Four Directions’ own website, went through ActBlue, a progressive online platform that raised $1.6 billion for Democrats in the 2018 midterms and has since become a fundraising tool for Black Lives Matter.

And it didn’t only happen in Nevada. There were similar efforts undertaken in Idaho, Arizona, Washington, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, and Texas.

There are about 60,000 eligible Native American voters in Nevada who make up about three-percent of the state’s total voting population.

As Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske continues to claim there is no evidence of voter fraud in the state, at least 23 Las Vegas precincts and their percentage of voter turnout, show otherwise:

Beavers react to the sound of
Running water by building dams.
It is an urge so ingrained that
They’ll pile wood atop a speaker
Should it sounds like a stream.
That’s how I am with writing;
I constantly hear running water
As it pours through my soul
Filtered, pure and refreshing.

In March 2017, Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske signed off on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in response to a lawsuit filed by the Las Vegas ACLU and Mi Familia Vota Education Fund to enforce the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) in Nevada.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to have participated in the cooperative efforts that led to this Memorandum of Understanding,” she said in a statement. “In developing a system that will automatically transmit voter registration information from the Department of Motor Vehicles to county election officials, the parties have significantly improved Nevada’s voter registration process by adding additional efficiencies and safeguards.”

Under the MOU, the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) had to accept all voter registrations, even from non-citizens and forward them to the county clerk or the registrar of voters, who would then send the applications to the Secretary of State’s (SoS) office. It would then be up to the SoS’s Office to determine if the application was legal.

The DMV made their role in the process clear in the following portion of this press release:

“When the DMV receives an application from a customer, it is then transmitted to the appropriate agency, most often a county clerk or registrar’s office, for processing. These locations serve under the Secretary of State’s Office as the officials responsible for determining eligibility and processing voter applications.”

Shortly after Cegavske announced the memo’s completion, Démos, a progressive think-tank headquartered in New York City, trumpeted the finalization in a statement that read, “The DMV shall provide the appropriate Clerk/Registrar all Voter Registration Applications returned by customers without regard to their completeness.”

However, according to the NVRA, the only reason the DMV or any pass-through-agency can refuse an application is the lack of a signature, which would render it as incomplete.

It was his usual after-dinner walk. Joined by his dog, Chuck Malring weaved his way between the sage and creosote bushes.

Over the rise, he paused momentarily while the dog sniffed about. Near the base, he discovered thousands of leggy orbs.

‘Daddy Long Legs,” he smiled as the dog scurried away, tail tucked between its legs.

He knew they couldn’t hurt him as he recalled playing with them as a kid. He squatted hoping to touch one.

The sudden disturbance caused the things to stand as a single unit, making Chuck Malring wish he’d followed his dog down the trail.

Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske continues her refusal to investigate any form of possible voter fraud and she began before the 2020 elections were even held.

Nevada Assemblyman Cameron Miller, a Democrat, claimed to live at the address he listed on the formal election paperwork he swore was truthful. Now its come to light that Miller has been living at his parents’ house.

At the time of this discovery, his opponent and former police officer Tony Palmer, filed a formal complaint in October 2020, pointing to Miller’s perjury. Cegasvke’s office however claimed their authority to challenge the qualifications for a candidate expired along with their authority to investigate.

However, the statute of limitation is three-years for such an offense.

Also in October 2020, Las Vegas Metro Police raided the home of Democrat Assemblyman Alexander Assefa. Along with learning that he didn’t live where he claimed when signing reelection papers, he’s also under investigation for misusing campaign funds.

My Cousin Elmo says, “The COVID-19 crisis is the first time it can actually be proven that state governments are using Common Core math.”

“I really want that old car we saw,” he said.

“Your new device isn’t enough?” she asked.

“I want something that I can tinker on,” he said.

Next morning as he backed from the garage, he saw a large black car, under a red bow, parked across the driveway. The passenger door stood invitingly open.

Wondering how she’d done it, he leaned in the open door.

The ribbon wrapped around his mouth and the bench seat collapsed over his body, sucking him into the car before it quietly drove from the neighborhood. It wouldn’t need to feed again for days.

My Cousin Elmo says, “I grew up watching Coyote/Roadrunner cartoons, so I know not to stand on random ‘X’s.”
