Federal Pressure on Nevada's Election Integrity | Reno News

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is demanding Nevada use a federal database to purge illegal voters, claiming 250,000 ineligible voters exist across states — including Nevada — and threatening fines and jail time for non-compliance. But Nevada’s Secretary of State, Cisco Aguilar, fiercely resists, insisting state law must prevail and the federal government hasn’t proven the data’s reliability or legitimacy. He warns that similar databases have wrongly flagged legitimate voters in states like Kansas and Idaho, risking voter suppression and undermining trust — especially since Nevada already has strict anti-non-citizen-voting laws. Even some Republicans, like Senator Tom Tillis, are sounding the alarm, calling federal election measures like the “SAVE America Act” politically motivated and practically unworkable by November.
