Importance of Citizen-Only Voting in Nevada

WE MUST ENSURE THAT ONLY U.S. CITIZENS ARE ALLOWED TO VOTE

  • The U.S. electoral system is designed to give every eligible U.S. citizen in every state a say in choosing our leaders at the federal, state, and local levels.
  • The federal National Voter Registration Act requires that states take steps to ensure that only eligible citizens are registered to vote.
  • Due to the failure of the Biden-Harris Administration to secure the border, states must work even harder to ensure that their elections are not compromised by illegal aliens casting votes.
  • Over 12 million illegal aliens, including known “gotaways,” have entered the country since 2021.
  • Further, the Biden-Harris Administration issued Executive Order 14019, directing all federal agencies to register voters, including many federal agencies that interact regularly with illegal aliens.
  • These unprecedented efforts put even more responsibility on states to protect the integrity of their elections.

BY THE NUMBERS

  • Nevada is home to at least 190,000 illegal aliens, but this number does not account for the major influx of the last 3 years.
  • Nevada has a population of 3,104,614.
  • 190,000 illegal immigrants represent 6.118% of Pennsylvania’s population. Though this seems like a small fraction, it’s enough to make a difference in close elections.
    • During the 2020 presidential race, Nevada was decided by just 33,596 votes.
    • During the 2016 presidential race, Nevada was decided by just 27,202 votes.
    • During the 2012 presidential race, Nevada was decided by just 67,806 votes.

NEVADA MUST TAKE STEPS TO ENSURE ONLY CITIZENS VOTE

  • Governors should issue an America First model executive order to enforce state election laws and ensure that only eligible U.S. citizens vote.
  • State legislators should pass legislation that ensures only U.S. citizens are voting using the America First model policy.
  • State election officials should conduct regular voter roll maintenance for transparency and accountability.
  • Voters should support ballot initiatives to enshrine citizen-only voting in their state Constitution and elect officials who will enforce it.
