#BREAKING: Las Vegas man who claimed his dead wife’s mail-in ballot showed voter fraud is accused of sending it in himself and voting twice, investigators confirm. Donald "Kirk" Hartle faces two charges relating to the 2020 election. His wife died from cancer in 2017. #8NN

Prosecutors say a Las Vegas man forged his dead wife’s signature on her ballot and mailed it in and then claimed it had been stolen. The I-Team has learned that man is now facing charges: 8newsnow.com/i-team/i-team-… #8NN

"It made no sense to me," Hartle told me in November. "It lent some credence to what you've been hearing in the media about these possibilities and now it makes me wonder how pervasive is this?"

A review at the @NVSOS found it wasn't pervasive.

A tweet from the @NVGOP in November used Hartle's case as an example of widespread "voter irregularities." I've asked the party for comment on the charges. bit.ly/3pknDqq

“Have you started to think about the possibilities here?” i asked Kirk Hartle in November. “If it was taken in the mail? If it was taken from your mailbox? Have you started to think about that?”

“I’ve wondered about how that could have happened,” he said.

“Do you have any speculation?” I asked.

Hartle laughed and said, “I don’t.”

After asking journalists to investigate this claim of voter fraud, I haven’t heard back from the @NVGOP about allegations a man forged his dead wife’s signature on her ballot, mailed it in and then claimed it had been stolen: bit.ly/2Zj60wx

@NVGOP A tweet after the election from the @NVGOP reads, "The media needs to understand we are finding concrete cases of voter irregularities that they must expose.” No court or election official ever found widespread irregularities. They did find this: bit.ly/2Zj60wx
