MUTH’S TRUTHS
Veto Victory: Aguilar’s Definition of ‘Personal Knowledge’ Goes Up in Smoke
Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar (D) has been impeding and blocking the Pigpen Project’s efforts to assist in cleaning up Nevada’s dirty voter rolls for well over a year now.
And he’s been hiding behind his own personal definition of “personal knowledge” to reject our voter list maintenance reports, citizen challenges, and even legitimate possible election fraud complaints.
In his partisan world, the only way a citizen can question a voter’s eligibility is if you help the voter pack up their furniture, load it in the U-Haul, and drive with the voter to his/her new out-of-state home.
And he tried to codify this ridiculous definition of “personal knowledge” in state law with AB534 – which would have effectively banned citizens from participating in efforts to better secure our elections.
Yesterday, fortunately, Gov. Joe Lombardo (R) vetoed the bill. In the veto message delivered to Aguilar he wrote…
“Section 24(10) raises concerns about the ability of private individuals to challenge a voter’s eligibility based on residency. By requiring personal, first-hand knowledge and excluding third-party or data-based evidence, the bill significantly limits the tools available to identify voters who may no longer be eligible.”
Aguilar had a choice – and he chose poorly.
He could have worked with the Pigpen Project, provided guidance, and consulted with us about everything we’ve been trying to accomplish. Instead, he backhanded us over and over and over again.
Now, his bill is dead and gone. And now he has another choice:
Will he reverse course and start working with us in a cooperative manner to clean up our dirty voter rolls…or will he dig in his feet and keep blocking legitimate efforts to fix the problem?
I give it a 50-50 shot at best.
Mr. Secretary, you have my number. But I won’t be holding my breath waiting.
P.S. I want to DEEPLY thank everyone who has been supporting our Pigpen Project.
This is a complicated issue that the Secretary of State has only made worse, not better. And we fought HARD – publicly and behind the scenes – to kill this “personal knowledge” crud.
Your support has meant the WORLD to me, and we wouldn’t have gotten this victory without YOU. So take a bow…and then let’s get back to work!
