(Chuck Muth) – It’s that time again. Democrats have come up with yet another “brilliant” idea to fix Nevada’s never-ending election mess.
Their solution? More ballot drop boxes.
Because, of course, the real problem isn’t the days-long trickle of ballots after Election Day. It’s that voters just don’t have enough places to stuff their ballots in the first place.
Assembly Speaker Steve Yeager (D-Las Vegas) is pushing a bill to add ballot drop boxes in the three-day window between the end of early voting and Election Day.
Clark County, the Democratic stronghold, would get at least ten new drop boxes, while Washoe County would get five.
Rural counties? Well, they’d get the option to add more drop boxes. How generous.
Yeager argues this will “speed up” the ballot-counting process by reducing the pileup of ballots that get dumped on Election Day.
But let’s be real—this does nothing to address the actual issue: the state accepting mail-in ballots up to four days after the election.
That’s right, in Nevada, the election isn’t over when the polls close. We all get to sit around and wait while ballots trickle in and get counted days later.
Republicans, including Gov. Joe Lombardo, have a different idea: How about we just stop accepting mail-in ballots after Election Day?
Crazy, right? But Democrats aren’t interested in that common-sense reform. They’d rather slap a Band-Aid on a bullet wound and call it a day.
Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar is backing Yeager’s bill, claiming it will help with the “logjam” of ballots piling up on Election Day.
Funny, because last election, the real problem wasn’t a lack of drop boxes—it was the flood of mail-in ballots dumped into the system at the last minute.
Clark County alone had over 54,000 mail ballots arrive on Election Day. That’s not a logistics problem; it’s a system problem.
Republicans in the state Senate have proposed a much simpler solution: just require all mail ballots to arrive by the end of early voting. You know, like how every other piece of mail has to arrive before a deadline to count.
But Yeager thinks that would “scale back people’s right to vote.” Because apparently, expecting people to turn in a ballot on time is voter suppression now.
Let’s be clear—this drop box expansion is not about speeding up counting. It’s about making it easier to collect last-minute ballots in heavily Democratic areas.
Nevada already mails ballots to every active voter, thanks to a 2021 law Democrats passed.
And let’s not forget the ballot-harvesting loopholes that make it easy for “helpers” to drop off stacks of ballots at the last minute.
This bill doesn’t solve the problem. It just gives Democrats more time and more ways to gather ballots—long after the rest of us have finished voting.
If Yeager and his friends were serious about election integrity, they’d be pushing for on-time deadlines, not extra drop boxes. But we all know why they aren’t.
At the end of the day, this isn’t about fixing election delays—it’s about keeping Nevada’s chaotic, drawn-out election process exactly the way Democrats like it.
