The lawsuit comes after Secretary of State Cisco Agular instructed local officials to reject voter roll challenges that did not comply with his office’s interpretation of the law.
(Shawn Fleetwood | The Federalist) – Sveral Nevada clerks are failing to undertake their legally required duty to process citizen-led challenges of potentially ineligible voters on the state’s registration lists, a lawsuit filed Friday alleges.
Brought in Nevada’s First Judicial District Court by the Citizen Outreach Foundation (COF) and its president, Chuck Muth, the legal challenge contends that the election clerks of Carson City and Storey County are neglecting to fulfill their statutory obligation to process challenges to allegedly unlawful registrants on the counties’ respective voter rolls. Carson City Clerk Scott Hoen and Storey County Clerk Jim Hindle are named defendants in the case.
