(Chuck Muth) – It’s been a BUSY couple of months here at the Pigpen Project. And now that the 2024 elections are over, let me start briefing you on all the things that have happened since the June primary and what we’ve learned.
First, back in 2020-21 the Nevada Republican Party submitted what it claimed was “evidence” that Donald Trump’s re-election bid was “stolen.”
Problem was, there was no “evidence.” Merely suspicions. Smoke, but no fire.
The GOP argued – based on a review of change-of-address records provided by the post office – that some 130,000 voters had moved.
HOWEVER – and this is critical to understand – just because election officials were lax in cleaning up the voter files, that does NOT constitute voting fraud. Only if an ineligible voter actually VOTES is voting fraud committed.
And the party didn’t do its homework to confirm that.
We at the Pigpen Project aren’t making that mistake. We’re not “election deniers.” We’re “election questioners.”
So last April we filed with the Nevada Secretary of State an Election Integrity Violation Report on a voter who filed a change of address with the post office from Nevada to Texas because according to official government records, not only did the voter vote in the 2022 general election in Texas, but also voted by MAIL in the 2022 general election in Nevada. A double voter.
Two months later, the Secretary of State’s office notified us that the case had been closed. However, it has steadfastly refused to tell us what the disposition of the investigation was.
So much for Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar’s claim of “transparency.”
Did the voter, then living in Texas, commit voting fraud by voting in Nevada’s election by mail? Or did someone get hold of his mail-in ballot in Nevada and commit voting fraud by casting the voter’s ballot without the voter knowing about it?
Inquiring minds wanna know. So next week we’re going to file an official public records request to try to get to the bottom of it.
But that complaint last April was just the first shot across the bow.
At the same time, we reviewed NCOA (National Change of Address) data from the post office and compared it to the list of voters on the Inactive list. This is important because, according to state law, voters on the Inactive list are NOT supposed to be sent a mail-in ballot.
Yet we discovered that hundreds of voters who were on the Inactive list at the beginning of April voted by mail in the June primary. Warning, Will Robinson!
Of course, it’s possible that some of those voters updated their registration before mail-in ballots went out and were, thus, legal. But we don’t know. So now we’re going to start investigating that through public records requests, as well.
But here’s my question…
If we at the Pigpen Project are able to review voting records like this to identify potential voting fraud, we aren’t election officials, whose job it is to keep Nevada’s elections secure, not doing the same thing?
They have access to the exact same official government information we have but are simply looking the other way and kicking the can down the road. They have the “way.” The just don’t have the “will.”
Actually, I should point out that several county clerks/registrars were more than happy to work with us on this effort and use our research – until Secretary Aguilar, the state’s chief elections official, shut down the cooperation.Why? Why doesn’t Secretary Aguilar want the voter rolls cleaned?
But we were not deterred.
In August the Pigpen Project identified over 30,000 “moved” voter registrations that remained on the voter rolls even AFTER the various counties performed their “routine list maintenance” process that inactivated around 150,000 voters who had moved.
Since the county clerks/registrars missed these suspected “moved” voters – and because Secretary Aguilar had constantly blocked our efforts to work with the clerks/registrars to help them with the clean-up – we were forced to file official voter “challenges.”
However, at the direction of the Secretary of State, in collaboration with Attorney General Aaron Ford, the challenges were rejected and not processed.
Why? Why don’t Aguilar and Ford want the voter rolls cleaned?
But we didn’t stop there…
After learning of Secretary Aguilar’s August memo to the county clerks/registrars directing them to not process our challenges, we took it upon ourselves to send our own letter to a test group of suspected Clark County “moved” voters, letting them know they were still on Nevada’s voter list despite filing a change-of-address notice with the post office.
Along with the letter we included the official form for them to fill out if they simply forgot to cancel their registration and wanted to do so, along with a return envelope to mail their cancellation request back to us.
And we received over 500 individually SIGNED cancellation requests!
Which we have submitted to the Registrar of Voters.
I mean, this is indisputable. Our data and research are spot on. All of those voters were on the voter registration list in Nevada despite having moved from the address where they were registered to vote.
Yet Secretary Aguilar blocked our efforts to have their registrations confirmed by processing our challenges.
But hang on, we’re still not done yet…
Again, because we did our homework and identified the 30,000+ suspicious registrations BEFORE the election, we now have a list of voters who both filed a change of address AND voted in Nevada’s 2024 general election.
Including hundreds, if not thousands, who voted by mail.
Worse, it appears that some of the voters – we don’t have an exact number yet – who mailed cancellation requests to us are reported to have voted in the 2024 general election!
Did those voters vote illegally? Or did someone get hold of their ballot and vote it illegally in the “moved” voter’s name?
We don’t know.
But what we do know is we can’t rely on the Secretary of State to do anything about it. So we’re going to have to do his job for him by doing our own in-depth research…which has already begun.
Secretary Aguilar continues to claim “there’s no evidence of widespread voter fraud” in Nevada’s elections. But how does he know if he won’t even do the kinds of simple research we’re doing at the Pigpen Project?
It’s pretty hard to find election fraud if you won’t even look for it!
I’ll have a LOT more to share with you on this in the coming days, but leave you with this for now…
Voter fraud doesn’t have to be “widespread” to potentially affect the results of an election.
The 2024 race for North Las Vegas City Council Ward 2 was decided by just 8 votes out of more than 20,000 cast.
Were any of those ballots cast by people who didn’t live in that ward – or, for that matter, no longer even live in the state?
We’re about to find out. Stay tuned, Batfans…
