Nevada Democrats Condemn Trump and GOP’s Election Subversion Efforts

Concerns Over Election Integrity Stir Controversy in Nevada

“It is very clear he will use every tool at his disposal to rig our election system solely for his own political gain”

Nevada State Democratic Party Chair Daniele Monroe-Moreno issued a statement in response to Donald Trump’s recent actions concerning election processes:

“Donald Trump is using the office of the president to spread dangerous falsehoods about elections in an attempt to rewrite history. It is very clear he will use every tool at his disposal to rig our election system solely for his own political gain, and empower an unaccountable ICE to ramp up their efforts to instill fear in our communities. Unsurprisingly, Joe Lombardo and Nevada Republicans are right there with him in this attempt. Trump and his MAGA minions in Nevada would rather spread dangerous lies and rig the rules in a desperate attempt to cling to power because they know Nevada voters will hold them accountable for the economic pain their policies have caused. Make no mistake: no matter what lies Trump tells, we will continue fighting to protect every eligible voters’ right to make their voice heard at the ballot box in November.”

Republican Stance on Election Integrity

Nevada’s Republican figures have a notable history of questioning election integrity and promoting narratives that align with their political goals. Here are some instances:

Joe Lombardo expressed skepticism about the election system’s integrity without supporting evidence and supported several election deniers, including Trump.
Stavros Anthony challenged his election defeat at the Nevada Supreme Court, which ultimately dismissed his claims.
Jim Marchant propagated disinformation about legitimate elections being stolen and claimed a fictional Q Anon figure inspired his candidacy. He also led the illegal 2020 fake elector plot and expressed doubt about his own primary’s results, as seen here.
Carrie Buck claimed that 1,500 deceased individuals voted in 2020, later retracting these claims ahead of the 2024 election, yet voted against harsher penalties for fake electors, as reported here.
