Trump, GOP, sue Nevada over allegations of 'non-citizen voting' [View all]

A lawsuit from Republicans, including the campaign of former President Donald Trump, alleges that up to 4,000 noncitizens in Nevada might have voted in the 2020 general election, and that nearly as many such people will cast a ballot in November.

The complaint, which was filed in Carson City on Wednesday, lists Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar and the state and national Democratic parties as defendants.

“Nevada’s elections should be a reflection of its citizens’ voices, not influenced by non-citizens who have no legal standing to participate,” Nevada GOP Chairman Michael McDonald said in a news release. “Any efforts to allow non-citizens to vote threatens the very foundation of our elections and diminishes the power of lawful voters across our state. This isn’t just a legal issue—it’s about protecting the rights of Nevadans and preserving the integrity of our elections.”

The lawsuit seeks to have Aguilar’s office implement a system to verify that registered voters in Nevada are U.S. citizens, and to maintain that list.
“We have discovered evidence of thousands of non-citizens on Nevada’s voter rolls who may be able to cast ballots this November,” the Republican Party wrote in the release.
