In Nevada, A Corrupt Cash-For-Votes Scheme Is Hiding In Plain Sight

In tribal areas, Native American nonprofits illegally offered gift cards, electronics, and other 'prizes' in an effort to get out the vote—for Joe Biden.

It should surprise no one that Nevada has problems with election security and voter fraud, especially after the state mailed an absentee ballot to every registered voter this year whether he requested one or not, then received back more than eight times as many mail-in ballots as they did in 2016. That’s part of the reason Republicans in Nevada filed another lawsuit on Tuesday alleging widespread voter fraud and irregularities. The mass mailing of unsolicited ballots is of course a recipe for fraud, even more so in a state where the voter rolls contain tens of thousands of people who haven’t voted or updated their records in more than a decade. This is how you get dead people voting, as we reported here at The Federalist and as Tucker Carlson noted last week.

But there’s another, less sensational but perhaps more consequential election scandal in Nevada that hasn’t yet made headlines, even though it’s been hiding in plain sight for weeks now. Under the guise of supposedly nonprofit, nonpartisan get-out-the-vote campaigns, Native American voter advocacy groups in Nevada handed out gift cards, electronics, clothing, and other items to voters in tribal areas, in many cases documenting the exchange of ballots for “prizes” on their own Facebook pages, sometimes even while wearing official Joe Biden campaign gear. Simply put, this is illegal. Offering voters anything of value in exchange for their vote is a violation of federal election law, and in some cases punishable by up to two years in prison and as much as $10,000 in fines. That includes raffles, free food, free T-shirts, and so on.

The GOTV Effort In Nevada Was Blatantly Criminal Yet the Nevada Native Vote Project’s Facebook page contains post after post of voters receiving something of value in exchange for proof they cast a vote or handed over an absentee ballot. In one post, two men display $25 Visa gift cards they received after dropping off absentee ballots, presumably to someone who works for the Nevada Native Vote Project. In another Facebook post, a spokeswoman for the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony, Bethany Sam, appears on video inside a polling place offering T-shirts, stickers, jewelry, and thousands of dollars in gift cards to voters. Some of these items appear to be part of a raffle, which Sam says voters can enter in person or by emailing or texting a picture of their absentee ballot, while other items are offered to anyone who shows up in person and votes. Sam appears in another video wearing a Biden-Harris campaign mask with the Biden campaign bus behind her, talking about how important Native votes are to “swing” Washoe County (Biden won the county, which includes Reno, by less than 12,000 votes). In another video, she tells viewers about “Biden swag” available at a GOTV event, along with free Biden cookies. All these videos appear on the official Facebook page of the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony. (I called Sam to ask about this, and about the illegal raffles, but she never called me back.) Raffling off gift cards—the equivalent of a cash giveaway—appears to have been widespread among Native American communities in Nevada. The Nevada Native Vote Project’s Facebook page lists dozens of gift card winners by name, all of them rewarded simply for their vote, as well as advertisements for the raffles and information on how to enter. In addition to the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony, other Native groups throughout Nevada—Elko Indian Colony, Walker River Paiute Tribe, Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, Moapa Band of Paiute—hosted voter raffles of some sort, all of them sponsored by the Nevada Native Vote Project. Others, like the Las Vegas Tribal Community, simply gave away “free stuff” to voters.

Pennsylvania voters describe irregularities in mail-in, absentee ballot process

Voters received mail-in ballots when they didn't request them; some had to cast provisional ballots.

The U.S. saw record numbers of mail-in votes cast in the 2020 election, driven largely by voter concerns that crowded polling places and long lines could act as major spreading centers for COVID-19. Activists and public officials in the months leading up to the Nov. 3 election launched major informational campaigns and voting drives to help as many people as possible vote via mail. A reported 65 million ballots were cast by mail in the 2020 election, far outstripping earlier years. Along with that major shift in voting methods came the predictable headaches associated with moving a huge percentage of voters over to voting-by-mail, including numerous reports of voters receiving multiple mail-in ballots — in some cases even when none was requested — as well as voters not receiving requested ballots in time for the election. Voting irregularities in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania — where Joe Biden leads President Trump by just over 1% — have reportedly been widespread. Matt Braynard, former Trump Campaign Director of Data and Strategy and presently the leader of the Voter Integrity Project, reported this week and confirmed to Just the News on Tuesday that the Voter Integrity Project had reached hundreds of voters who experienced issues with their mail-in ballots. "Among 1706 respondents we reached whom the state said were sent an absentee ballot, 556 said they never requested it," Braynard said this week. "And of the 1137 who did request the ballot, 453 said they mailed back yet the state did not receive or count them," he added.

'It is still in the sealed envelope' In interviews with Just the News, individual voters have reported experiencing multiple irregularities in the state's mail-in ballot process, including receiving mail ballots when they didn't request them and, in some cases, being required to vote with provisional ballots when showing up at polling stations. Among the voters who found themselves in the midst of the widespread confusion was Kory Kunkle, a 45-year-old voter near Pittsburgh, Pa. "For the primary election, when COVID started, I had requested a mail-in ballot," Kunkle told Just the News. "I didn't know how bad it was going to be. I didn't know if the polls were going to be open." Pennsylvania allows voters to sign up for mail-in voting for a general election when they sign up to vote in a primary. Kunkle, however, said he never asked for a general election mail-in ballot, yet he still received one anyway. When Kunkle showed up at his voting station, he was not allowed to vote on the machine, and was told he had to file a provisional vote. Kunkle provided Just the News with personal information to check his mail-in voting status on the Pennsylvania state website. That website lists his ballot status as "pending." Timothy Sirk, who lives in York County, Pa., also said he received a mail-in ballot he never requested. On Election Day, he went to his polling center and was told he was on the rolls as a mail-in voter. He was subsequently directed to vote with a provisional ballot. "I want to know what happened here," Sirk told Just the News. "I don't care if you are a Democrat or Republican as long as the votes are counted fairly." Some Pennsylvania voters who spoke to Just the News said they applied for mail-in votes and sent them in, but when they checked online to see if their votes were counted, they were shocked two weeks later that their vote is still pending. Diane Doyle, her husband and daughter chose to vote by mail for the general election, and she mailed all three ballots on Oct. 12. Her husband and daughter's vote were processed on Oct. 26, but Diane's vote is still "pending" as of Nov. 16. Nicholas Boutin, who lives in Philadelphia, requested a mail-in ballot for the general election but subsequently received two ballots. He eventually elected to vote in person, where he was required to do so by provisional ballot.
