It is common knowledge that the country is split on many issues right now, but I think most people can agree on an important one: we all want fair elections.
One solution to alleviate the questioning of our election results, which is generally agreed upon by all sides, is to have a fair voter ID requirement in order to cast a ballot in Nevada. A proposed ballot measure has been written and approved by the courts to be considered. If enough registered voters in Nevada sign this petition by June 26, it can be placed on the November ballot for the People to decide on this issue.
You can read the text of the Petition on the petition website RepairTheVote.us. Upon reading the Petition, you will note there are a wide variety of acceptable ID’s (at least one is required to actually register to vote). To me, this is a common sense solution.
Each one of us has the opportunity to sign this Petition in various locations in Mesquite as well as at the upcoming Clark County Fair (April 10-14). A registered voter from any party is welcome to sign; this really isn’t a partisan issue and all are welcome.
You can often find a table in front of the library, at the Rec Center, at Ace Hardware, or at the Republican Election Office when it opens in the Brickyard Shopping Center mid-April.
I hope you agree that this makes sense, a practical way to eliminate controversy, and you will choose to sign it! I did!

Yes. We need to protect the integrity of our election process before too many Americans lose interest in trying to maintain our special Constitutional Republic our founding fathers gave us.
You are trying to fix something that is not broke. The 2020 election was the most accurate and honest one in our history. Only a few dozen cases of fraud were found and most of them were Republicans. What Trump did was to cast doubt on our ability to have fair elections. He is doing what Russia told him to do. He is a traitor. That is what needs fixing. Our elections are not the problem.
I’d sign a petition that proclaims how safe and accurate our system is! I’d sign a petition to proclaim everyone must critically think instead of gobble up theories that, while it might be what you love to hear, it is better to find out if it is based on fact.
