One of the primary roles of our state legislatures and the various secretaries of state around the republic is to ensure the validity of our elections. A primary part of making such an assurance is to make sure our voter registration rolls are accurate and up-to-date and only include those who are legally entitled to vote. There have been, in recent years, many efforts to do precisely this, and it speaks volumes that there is always one party in favor of ensuring our voter registration rolls are accurate and valid - and the other party is against any such efforts.
In one such effort, the Donald Trump presidential campaign, the Republican National Committee, and the Nevada Republican Party are suing Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar for illegally allowing non-citizens to register to vote. RNC Chairman Michael Whatley, in a Trump campaign email to supporters, stated:
"Allowing non-citizens to vote suppresses legal voters, undermines the democratic system, and violates the law. Democrats continue to put non-citizens first and Americans last as they allow non-citizens to vote and interfere in American elections. We have filed suit in Nevada to protect the vote and stop this Democrat election interference scheme.”
Nevada GOP chair Michael McDonald also said:
"Nevada’s elections should be a reflection of its citizens’ voices, not influenced by non-citizens who have no legal standing to participate. Any efforts to allow non-citizens to vote threatens the very foundation of our elections and diminishes the power of lawful voters across our state. This isn't just a legal issue—it’s about protecting the rights of Nevadans and preserving the integrity of our elections."
