Clark County records show 107 non-citizens registered to vote in past elections

Vote88

 In 2018 Clark County found 107 registered voters turned out to be non-citizens and were purged from voter rolls.

The non-citizens who were found to be registered to vote in some cases by overzealous voter drive workers.

Permanent resident Adan Vargas wrote to the Clark County Election Department claiming he has been improperly registered in such a fashion.


Adan Vargas wrote a letter expressing concern.

“I do remember that a lady came to my house to talk about voting and asked for my Social Security number, which I provided to her,” Vargas wrote in his account, “Her communication was in English, which is not my first language and I believe she registered me without consent.”

Vargas said he was concerned about getting his citizenship in the future due to the problem.

An Oct. 2016 registration card sows Vargas selected “yes” for U.S. citizen.

Similarly, Sheryl Bagyan McGrath wrote a letter asking to be removed from the voter rolls after allegedly being improperly registered.

“I learned that despite what I was told by the person signing up new voters, I am not eligible to vote," she wrote.

Many voter registration forms take the filers' word at face value and require no documentation, leaving critics to say that such lackadaisical treatment opens the process to fraud.

Writing in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Victor Joecks said committing voter fraud in Nevada is easy.

“[I]f you want to vote illegally as a non-citizen, the only thing stopping you is you. That’s not good enough,” Joecks wrote.
