The Future Of Fair And Honest Elections Depends On Bold Leadership

In a previous article, I discussed Executive Order 14248 which contains the following elements that put “teeth” into enforcing election integrity laws in Nevada and across the nation.

1. Voter Roll Maintenance (Cleaning Voter Rolls): EO 14248 Section 2(b)(iii) requires federal review of voter rolls, citing 52 U.S.C. §20507 (NVRA), and HAVA §303(a)(2)(A) mandating states make a “reasonable effort” to remove ineligible voters. The Executive Order directs the Federal Attorney General to act against states failing to clean their rolls.

2. Proof of Citizenship for Voter Registration: EO 14248 Section 2(a)(i–ii) requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship. NVRA currently allows self-attestation of citizenship under penalty of perjury — applicants must check a box and sign but not show documentation.

3. Inactive Voter Waiting Periods: The EO does not shorten or bypass the two-federal elections (NVRA and HAVA) waiting periods before a voter can be purged. It directs the DOJ to enforce list maintenance procedures.

4. Federal Databases for Voter Eligibility Verification: EO 14248 Section 2(b–c), 3(a) requires federal agencies (DHS, SSA, State, DoD) to give states access to immigration, death, and ID records to cross-check voter rolls. HAVA §303 allows registration matches with DMV, SSA, and death records.

5. Election Day Deadlines: EO Section 7 mandates ballots must be received by Election Day, based on 2 U.S.C. §7 and 3 U.S.C. §1. Nevada’s Constitution Article 15 Section 5 defines Election Day and where NRS conflicts, the state Constitution is the ultimate authority.

6. Blocking Biden’s Executive Order 14019: EO 14248 Section 9 halts implementation by voter registration by Federal Agencies. 7. Voting System Standards and Security: EO Section 4(b) requires paper ballots and disallows encoded-only barcodes. HAVA mandates voting system standards, including voter-verifiable audit trails.

After the executive order was signed, Nevada’s present Secretary of State, Francisco Aguilar said: “This Executive Order…is a federal overreach on the duties and obligations of the states.” He noted that Nevada has no evidence of widespread fraud. Those who oppose election integrity efforts often deny or diminish election crimes. (I wrote about this in the Angle Examiner available free on my website (SharronAngle.com)

In a joint press release with Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, Aguilar said: “The Trump administration’s executive order on elections is an unlawful attempt to grab power from both the states and Congress. The United States Constitution is clear: states have primary responsibility for the administration of elections.” Given his rhetoric, Aguilar is signaling that he will not comply with or help enforce Trump’s order acting in coordination with the Nevada Attorney General to block key provisions of the executive order. He does not address the provisions of existing law or the Executive Order only repeating a “political soundbite” about “power grabs” of what he perceives to be his authority.

The future of free, honest, and fair elections depends on bold leadership and enforcing the election laws that secure our vote. President Trump has set the standard with his Executive Order. I have a proven record of boldly standing for the rule of law and the Constitution. That’s why I’m running for Nevada Secretary of State.
