NORTH LAS VEGAS, NV. — The Nevada Republican Party on Thursday submitted a criminal referral to the Department of Justice alleging thousands of instances of voter fraud in the 2020 general election.
“Our lawyers just sent a criminal referral to AG Barr regarding at least 3,062 instances of voter fraud,” the party said in a statement. “We expect that number to grow substantially. Thousands of individuals have been identified who appear to have violated the law by casting ballots after they moved from Nevada.”
In a letter to the Justice Department, attorneys Shana Weir and Jesse R. Binnall, representing Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., outlined their findings.
“Specifically, we have identified 3,062 individuals who appear to have improperly cast mail ballots in the election. We verified this by cross-referencing the names and addresses of voters with the National Change of Address database,” the attorneys wrote. The letter also included correspondence sent to Joseph Gloria, the Clark County Registrar, detailing the investigation.
The attorneys noted that the list of potentially fraudulent ballots may grow and pledged to update the Justice Department as additional information becomes available. “Of course, voter fraud is a serious federal felony, one that cuts to the heart of our representative democracy,” they said.
As of 7:01 a.m. on November 6, 2020, Joe Biden led Trump by 11,428 votes in Nevada. If allegations of illegal voting are verified, they could narrow the Democratic candidate’s margin.
Trump’s legal team has also filed a separate lawsuit in Nevada, which is currently moving through the courts.
