(Central Square) – Nevada’s bill for a more stringed election fraud law is alleged, as state MPs discuss their weight and clarity.
The calls for further voting rules came after the 2020 election, when six Republicans in Nevada were accused of signing counterfeit college selection certificates to claim that Donald Trump had won the presidential race encouraged by employees At Trump’s campaign. Joe Biden, who was elected president in the same year, won a list of Nevada voters at election college.
The six Republicans were charged with the large Clark region jury in 2023 on charges of offering a false instrument and the utterance of a forged tool. But this case was rejected by a judge of the Clark District Court in Las Vegas on the place.
General Prosecutor Aaron Ford last summer submitted Dismissal With the Supreme Court in Nevada and re -charged the accused instruments in Carson City.
The Prosecutor General also stated that there is no law of Nevada to cope specifically in the form of suspected fraud in the election of the Nevada case.
In response to the 13th District State Democratic Senator Skip whether he proposed a bill that would make the deliberate counterfeiting of electoral colleges certificates in a crime. After the bill adopted the State Senate in 2023, the Republican governor Joe Lombardo vetoed him, calling the sentence of four to 10 years imprisonment too hard.
In January, whether he again suggested that he sign the fake voting certificates illegally. This year’s new legislation, the Senate Bill 100, reduces the sentence to one to four years imprisonment. The fine of up to $ 5,000 that was previously included was preserved.
During a hearing Tuesday for the bill of whether there was much more opposition than support.
Many who attended the Senate at the meeting of legislative operations and elections were civil servants who expressed concern about the clarity of the bill and wondered what unforeseen effects the law could have.
“We all agree that the integrity of the election and the smooth election process are of high priority. However, I stand in opposition, “said the city of North Las Vegas Jackie Rogers during the hearing of Carson City. “The city official wears many hats – the election management is only one.”
If the city official is removed for an “untimely or inappropriate election process”, it will leave other responsibilities unmanned, Rogers said.
Rogers said the Secretary of State would fill the election part of a removed city official, but noted that this would leave other obligations.
Whether he said his bill was not revolutionary.
“I wanted to point out that it was already a crime for a civil servant or other person to deliberately neglect or prevent an elected law. But there is no effective, effective or timely process to ensure that any such neglect or obstacles do not violate or delay the election processes, “he said.” This bill would put in this unsuccessful safe – or at least this is what we “try to do.”
No action was taken during the hearing, but the mixed display of support and concern made it concluded that the bill needed additional conflicts.
