NV Court Rulings On Voter ID and Mail Voting Rollback Ballot Questions


A Pair of Carson City, Necada, Judges struck, what appeared to be Fatal Blows, to proposed GOP-backed Voting Initiatives on Monday, Invalidating efforts to Roll Back the Democrat-backed Universal Vote-by-Mail Law passed in 2021, and a Measure implementing Voter Identification Requirements.

In separate Rulings:

- Senior Judge Frances Doherty, Blocked the effort to File a Referendum against AB321, the Measure passed by Lawmakers in 2021 to permanently implement Universal Mail-in-Ballot.

- Senior Judge William Maddox, Ruled that the Voter ID initiative’s description of Effect, a 200-word Summary, was argumentative and ordered a New Description be written, effectively Scrapping All Signatures collected at this point.

“On both proposed initiatives, the courts agreed with us that the descriptions provided to potential Nevada voters were deceptive and inaccurate, and could not go forward,” Wolf Rifkin Attorney Bradley Schrager, who represented the Plantiffs, said in a statement.

“In both instances, people with agendas undermining confidence in our elections were found to be misleading the voters about their ballot measures. Today the justice system made clear that such tactics are not tolerable.”

Both Measures were sponsored by "Repair the Vote", a Political Action Committee, led by former Nevada Republican Club President David Gibbs.

In a Brief Interview Monday, Gibbs said there was virtually No chance of getting the Signatures needed to qualify the Measures for the Ballot, by a Deadline in the next few weeks.
