Right-Wing Group Files Multiple Voter Challenge Lawsuits in Nevada Counties

A voter registration form paper copy in the USA is shown up close, with a hand holding a pen about to fill out the sheet.

A right-wing group filed three lawsuits in four Nevada counties over the past several days, challenging local election officials’ failure to process voter roll challenges.

The lawsuits, which stem from a series of voter challenges submitted by the right-wing Pigpen Project, accuses election officials in Carson City, Storey County, Clark County and Washoe County of refusing to process the voter challenges. The Pigpen Project, a grassroots group started by longtime Nevada-based conservative activist and lobbyist Chuck Muth, filed voter challenges in nearly every Nevada county in June and July, claiming that his organization identified more than a thousand registered voters who should be removed from voter rolls.

But the lawsuits, filed by the Citizens Outreach Foundation and Muth, claim that these voter challenges were refused by officials in Carson City, Storey, Clark and Washoe counties, in violation of state law.

These lawsuits come a little over a month after Nevada launched its new statewide unified voter registration system, which stores voter registration data for every registered voter in the state in a singular database, rather than multiple databases for each county.

“Instead of having, you know, 17 different systems doing list maintenance for our voter rolls, we have a single system now that allows us to directly manage that information and have a streamlined, unified process across the state for list maintenance,” Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar (D) said in an interview when the new system launched. The new system is meant to keep better records of voter registration, in part to make it harder for third-party groups like the Pigpen Project to challenge county voter registrations rolls.

In the three lawsuits filed by Muth and Citizens Outreach Foundation, the petitioners are asking the court to force county officials to process the voter challenges.

Mansion on the Nevada Side of Lake Tahoe Swiftly Sells for Million

A waterfront mansion on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe just sold for $46 million, less than three weeks after hitting the market.

The speedy deal marks a departure from the typical U.S. market.

Nationwide, homes took a median 78 days to land a buyer in January, five more than the same time last year and the 22nd straight month of homes taking longer to sell on a year-over-year basis, according to data from Realtor.com.

The lavish log cabin-like residence, in Incline Village, listed on Jan. 24 for $47.5 million. It sold 20 days later, on Feb. 13, listing records show.

The more than 7,000-square-foot residence was built in 2014, and has double-height living spaces, walls of windows, beamed ceilings, fireplaces, and plenty of rustic exposed stone and wood, listing images show.

There’s also a gym, a wet bar, a spa, a wine room, an office, two separate game rooms, seven bedrooms and dramatic Lake Tahoe views. Outside, there’s a private sandy beach, multiple decks, a heated driveway and two exterior fireplaces, according to listing information.

The seller and the buyer are both limited liability companies, according to property records. Both parties were represented by Jeff Brown of Tahoe Mountain Realty, who declined to comment on the deal.

The median home price in Incline Village was $1.595 million as of December, a fall of 3.3% from a year earlier, according to data from Realtor.com. Listings, meanwhile, spent an average of 130 days on the market.
