Nevada Election to Proceed as Planned Despite Mail-in Ballot Controversy

Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar says the November 3 election will proceed as planned, despite ongoing controversy over President Trump's executive order on mail-in ballots.

Aguilar was reacting to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allowed Trump's administration to move forward with the order, which seeks to regulate mail-in ballots and establish lists of eligible voters.

However, a federal judge in Boston had previously struck down the order, agreeing with a coalition of states including Nevada that election laws are the purview of states and Congress, not the president.

Aguilar noted that it's too late to change procedures for the upcoming election, with ballots set to be mailed to military and overseas voters in mid-September and early voting beginning on October 17.

He also addressed allegations of non-citizens on Nevada's voter rolls, stating that Homeland Security had initially claimed there were potentially thousands of non-citizen voters, but later said it had identified 185 individuals suspected of being improperly registered.
