The state of Nevada is investigating more than 300 cases of potential voter fraud stemming from the 2024 general election, officials said.
“The Secretary of State’s Office takes every allegation of election integrity violations very seriously and investigates them to the full extent of the law,” Nevada Secretary of State Francisco V. Aguilar’s office said in an election integrity report.
“The SOS Office works very closely with the Attorney General’s Office through the investigative process. Once a determination is made regarding the validity of any allegations, a report is prepared and cases are referred to outside investigatory agencies, including the Attorney General’s Office and county District Attorney offices.”
According to the report, there were 303 instances of “double voting” – the same person attempting to vote twice – detected in the 2024 general election.
