Numerous Nevada voters looked at their voter history and found that their mail ballots were counted in the recent primary, even though they didn’t participate in it.
After numerous Nevada voters saw irregularities in their voter history on Sunday, the secretary of state’s office said it has identified the issues and is fixing them, according to a statement Monday evening.
The office learned Sunday there were possible technical issues relating to Nevadans’ voting history for people who did not participate in the Feb. 6 presidential primary. It said elections and IT staff began working immediately with county clerks and registrars Monday morning.
It determined that the problem resulted in some counties not taking the proper steps to upload their voter registration. Every night each county uploads their voter registration to the secretary of state’s database, which executes code to create the statewide voter registration file that Nevadans see when they log into vote.nv.gov, according to the secretary of state’s office.
The systems used by some counties require additional steps to be taken to ensure that voters who did not return their ballot do not have vote history, the secretary of state’s office said. Some of those steps were not taken, which resulted in inaccurate data on the website.
“Our office has been validating new files from each county and moving them into production as soon as the accuracy of the data is verified,” the secretary of state’s office said in the statement.
All voter data should be accurate within 48 hours, and a comprehensive report will be provided later, according to the secretary of state’s office.
“Again, this is an error that relates to the code used for when a voter is sent a mail ballot and does not return it; it has no connection in any way to vote tabulation,” the office said in a statement. The top-down Voter Registration and Election Management System (VREMS) project at the Secretary of State’s office will go live prior to the June 2024 election, and remove the need for these outdated processes.”

All of a sudden they admit this is possible?
It is not only possible, but very easy to exploit mail-in voting as it is in Nevada and other states with similar weak provisions.
2024 is going to be rigged!
You're right. Our voting privileges have been vaporised. We no longer have the ballot box at our disposal. Instead of waiting for new leadership, we need to take the fight to the feds by utilising the secret weapon States have against the general government – Nullification. States have ancient powers to reject ANY federal law they deem unconstitutional – we can essentially use this to terminate the Deep State and, if need be, the entire federal government. Look up the Tenth Amendment Center – a great conservative nonprofit that has FREE articles and videos explaining all you need to know about this powerful weapon. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison thought it the most important check against tyranny the people of the states had at their disposal. Conservatives can't afford to ignore NULLIFICATION & SECESSION.
ZERO chance the Establishment allows Trump near the White House again. None. Nada. Zip.
We need to vote in mass numbers, keep an eye on it, and work them. No excuses! We have to vote!!!
If you read the article, it was a logging error, not fraudulent voting.
I agree that conservatives are taking risks by voting in person only on election day, but there's no argument why elections should not universally be in person and on election day.
It's the only way to avoid this type of fraud.

Problem is we don’t have that yet. May have to succumb in order to win , then change things when America first are in. I wasn’t a proponent of early voting but now I think it’s a necessary evil.
