A lot of space in between these 2 responses to #nvleg's elections bill, which is where I'm going to remain.
2 big problems with this terrible bill: 1. It gives paid political operatives access to ballots. 2. All VBM is more susceptible to fraud than voting in person.
What's funny is that if @realDonaldTrump (and his campaign) were as dishonest as Reid says, Trump would love this bill, because it allows non-election officials access to ballots.
Trump is probably going to lose NV. If he were interested in stealing an election, this bill would help him and his campaign do that.
Just ballot harvest in heavily Democratic neighborhoods and only turn in 70% of the ballots.
(I'm not suggesting that obviously.)
The bill doesn't mean that Democrats (or Republicans) will commit fraud. But it does make it much easier to do so.
Good thing politics only attracts honest people. Right?

It is amazing how @KamalaHarris tells outright falsehoods about @realDonaldTrump and the media ignores it. Here are some from her speech in Las Vegas.
Claim: "He intends to cut Social Security and Medicare."
Trump: "Under no circumstances should Republicans vote to cut a single penny from Medicare or Social Security."
Harris: "He intends to end the Affordable Care Act," specifically to "take us back to a time when insurance companies had the power to deny people with preexisting conditions."
Trump, as president: Signed an executive order to "affirm it is the official policy of the United States government to protect patients with preexisting conditions."
Harris: "He talks a big game about border security, but he does not walk the walk."
During the Biden/Harris administration, illegal immigration was hit record highs while it was much lower during the Trump administration. When there was a surge during Trump's tenure, he quickly brought it down.
Don’t think a court loss means there’s no proof of voter fraud. The District Court didn’t engage with the names submitted by Trump campaign of double dead and out of state voters. It cited an “expert” who studied previous Nevada elections, but not the 2020 general.
The tens of thousands of potentially illegal voters is still an unknown. Illegal voting on that scale was possible given the rapid shift to mail ballots and signature verification being a joke.
But Trump campaign needs to put out those lists to allow others to investigate.
Three days ago, King @GovSisolak hyperventilated that @realDonaldTrump's rallies doomed Nevada to a deadly increase in coronavirus cases. Now, Sisolak is suggesting that he wants to relax restrictions on ... gatherings.
Yesterday, @RalstonReports publicly attacked, mocked and said he muted @OyVegas, a columnist for the Indy, which Jon runs. What a great editor.
.@OyVegas committed the most heinous thought crime of all. He suggested that something I wrote wasn’t completely wrong (although Dayvid was quick to point out what he disagreed with).
I’m sorry @OyVegas. That’s not allowed. You must not interrupt the two minutes of hate with independent thinking.
