The Carson City Sheriff’s Office is investigating numerous reports of property damage throughout Carson City, including the Nevada Secretary of State's Office on Musser and Carson Street, that happened Sunday night into Monday morning.

On Tuesday morning during a virtual meeting of the Nevada Supreme Court, the canvass of votes was signed and certified. Joe Biden was officially delegated the winner in Nevada's 2020 General Election for the Office of President.

On Friday, Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak issued the following statement in response to President Donald Trump’s message to the American people on the election.

The Nevada Secretary of State’s Elections Division provides various tools as a service to voters, such as the Registered Voter Services website and BallotTrax. Because the administration of elections in Nevada is highly decentralized, the tools offered by the Elections Division must take in data from the 17 counties in order to function.

History of the Nevada Day Chili Feed

Each October, Nevadans turn their attention to the state capitol, Carson City, home of the “official” Nevada Day Parade. Since 1938, the Nevada Day Parade in Carson City has been an annual coming together to celebrate Nevada’s heritage and the founding of this great state on October 31, 1864.

Today in Carson City and beyond, it is National Voter Registration Day.

Did you know that in Nevada, you can register to vote online in only a few minutes, or in-person at the polls?

A federal district court judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump’s campaign seeking to block Nevada’s expanded mail-in voting laws for the 2020 election over a lack of standing.

Mailers recently sent by the U.S Postal Service (USPS) make two incorrect recommendations to Nevada voters, including direction to request a mail-in ballot at least 15 days before Election Day and to add a postage stamp.

President Donald Trump sought to undermine confidence in the electoral process in Nevada during a rally in Minden Saturday evening, falsely telling a packed crowd of supporters that Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak controls millions of votes, that mail-in ballots can be accepted without signatures and that Republicans likely wouldn’t be sent mail-in ballots but dogs and dead people would.

President Donald Trump’s campaign is narrowing its focus in a lawsuit against Nevada’s expanded use of mail-in ballots for the 2020 general election, now specifically challenging a provision allowing ballots received up to three days after the election to be counted if their postmark is unclear.

I've been compiling a list of memorable things people have had to say about Mark Twain for 30 years now, and most of them are from Twain scholars, but a few might surprise you, as being from folks you might recognize.

The upcoming 2020 General Election will be a first in the country's history, as it will be a primarily mail-in only election. There has been many sources of misinformation regarding how the election will work, and the Nevada Secretary of State has provided a Myths and Facts sheet to help dispel some of the rumors.

Nevada Democrats have, for years, been fine-tuning their political machine. Two years ago was, perhaps, their best proof of concept. Democrats spirited away a key U.S. Senate seat, took control of the governor’s mansion for the first time in two decades and secured a veto-proof majority in one chamber of the Legislature while retaining a majority in the other.

Nevada’s decision to expand mail-in voting for the 2020 general election has become a partisan battleground, after President Donald Trump’s campaign sued to block the election changes put in place by the state’s Democratically-controlled Legislature in a summer special session.

When the pandemic forced the DMV to close in-person services and waive deadlines, license renewals slowed, vehicle registrations lapsed and voter registration numbers plummeted as people largely stopped interacting with the DMV.

Republican Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske is asking for an emergency regulation to keep closer tabs on who is “ballot harvesting” after a recently passed state law cleared the way for the practice.

President Donald Trump’s campaign has sued Nevada over a contentious bill recently approved in the ongoing special session of the Nevada Legislature that expands mail-in voting for the 2020 general election, saying it would make voter fraud “inevitable.”

Democrats are pushing back on President Donald Trump’s latest criticism and threat of litigation over Nevada’s move toward a mostly mail general election.

Hours after President Donald Trump threatened litigation over it through a tweet, members of the Nevada Senate voted on party lines to approve a bill that expands mail-in voting during times of emergency.

Gov. Steve Sisolak is rolling back orders to close bars in three rural counties but keeping closure orders in place in Las Vegas and Reno, while signaling a new emphasis on interventions that are narrowly tailored to noncompliant businesses and hotspot regions rather than entire industries.

A number of Nevada’s rural county commissions have passed or are considering resolutions expressing their opposition to mail-in voting. Taking their cue from President Trump, they base their opposition on claims that mail-in voting is rife with fraud. It’s no coincidence that these exclusively Republican officials feel threatened by mail-in voting, and it has nothing to do with fraud, real or imagined.
