Over 180 Attempted To Vote Twice In Nevada Election
Years of election marketing make it clear: it is “Rock The Vote” not “Rock The Votes”. It is “Your Vote. Your Choice.” not “Your Votes. Your Choice.” and so on. Needless to say, some people did not get the memo as dozens upon dozens of people attempted to vote twice in Nevada.
On Friday, the Nevada Secretary Of State’s office released their report on the 2024 election. In the report, it found that 182 people attempted to vote twice in Nevada, although they found no violation in two of those cases. The other 180 people are still under investigation.
Nearly a dozen people are being considered for actual prosecution in cases of illegal election behavior, according to the Reno Gazette Journal.
Why Did People Try To Vote Twice In Nevada?
There are false positives, genuine misunderstandings and slimy losers involved here. The slimy losers are the ones that know they voted once (say, via mail-in ballot) and attempt to vote a second time in person. They are obviously low lives and are up for some serious felony charges, although the numbers are thankfully infinitesimal compared to the total number of votes.
But there are genuine misunderstandings, in particular with older folks that may have forgotten they voted via the mail-in ballot already. Or in the case of same-names, like a father and son with the same name and address, attempting to vote and causing an issue there.
In total there were 762 “election integrity violation reports” submitted this election season, with over 500 of them closed with no fault.
Voting Twice Is A Serious Crime
Trying to sneak a second vote through the system is a major no-no. Attempting to vote twice in Nevada is labeled as a Category D felony under NRS 293.780, which could “sentence a convicted person to imprisonment in the state prison for a minimum term of not less than 1 year and a maximum term of not more than 4 years”.
The Poop Museum And 6 Weird Nevada Attractions You Must Visit
1. The Clown Motel: Tonopah, Nevada
The Clown Motel is just plain weird. And it is said to be haunted – which is not hard to believe. I have been to it, but refuse to stay, because it is like something out of the X-Files the Scully and Mulder would have even avoided, But it is quite the tourist attraction. At least check out the weird gift shop.
2. The Middlegate Shoe Tree: Dayton, Nevada
It’s a tree with a bunch of shoes hanging over branches. The story is that a couple got in their first fight as newlyweds, they had an argument right near the tree, and one left the other walking home, without shoes. They patched things up, but made an anniversary tradition out of going back each year to throw a shoe on the tree. It’s interesting. In Dayton, Nevada, about 50 miles from Fallon Nevada, on The Loneliest Road In America.
3. The Car Forest: Goldfield, Nevada
The call it the Free Range Art Gallery. There are dozens of cars, vans, and trucks half-buried, or sticking straight up out of the ground, and even on top of each other. These are the canvas, and they are really colorful, and festive. It’s a really cool sight to see, in the living ghost town of Goldfield.
4. Seven Magic Mountains: Las Vegas, Nevada
The Seven Magic Mountains were supposed to be a temporary exhibit, but they have been up since 2016. About 20 minutes outside of Las Vegas are seven fluorescent colored, 11 story rock towers. They have become a bit of have become something of a cult classic, and they are a GREAT photo op. A really cool sight to see!
5. The National Atomic Testing Museum: Las Vegas, Nevada
There were over 900 atomic tests in Nevada. And people would take buses to see the testing. It was a huge draw for Las Vegas, and people came in from everywhere. People would bus out to the test site, put their goggles on, have a cocktail, and enjoy watching the mushroom clouds in the sky. It was quite the attraction on Las Vegas in the 50’s. The Atomic Testing Museum, though, is quite amazing, and full of history. A huge, actual, nuclear reactor, a backpack nuke, and personal atomic weapons. Yikes! But the Oppenheimer era was fierce in Las Vegas.
6. Little A’Le’Inn: Rachel, Nevada
The Little A’Le’Inn is just as kitschy as you would imagine! You can stay there, eat there, and shop. All a play on the Area 51 test site, that is not too far down the road. And all part of the heyday of the Las Vegas atomice times. Do NOT try to trek on over to Area 51, and think you’ll get past anything. Lights go on, and guards swarm in from nowhere! Just keep close to the Inn.
