Nevada is in federal court after the DOJ sued over its voter rolls on December 11, 2025. The suit—United States v. Aguilar—seeks the state’s full, unredacted voter registration list of roughly 2.2 million voters, as required under the Civil Rights Act of 1960, NVRA, and HAVA for election integrity checks.
Nevada released only public data—names, addresses, dates of birth, and party affiliation—while withholding driver’s license numbers and partial Social Security numbers to comply with state privacy laws. In January 2026, it filed a motion to dismiss, citing privacy concerns and insufficient federal data-security assurances. The case remains unresolved.
This suit is one of roughly 30 similar DOJ actions against states refusing full voter rolls. About 85-90 percent of resistant states are Democratic-led; most fully compliant states are Republican-led. Nevada’s position deepens public doubts about roll accuracy nationwide.
On Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon reported: “States are not in compliance, even those ones who want to. So, for the ones that we’ve run so far — 60 million records that we’ve run — we found at least 350,000 dead people currently on the voter rolls in those jurisdictions, and we’ve referred approximately 25,000 people with no citizenship records to [the Department of] Homeland Security.” She added, “The Left told us this never happens and it’s a myth, it definitely happened.”
The SAVE America Act, passed by the House in February 2026, addresses a solution to these concerns. It requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for federal voter registration and photo ID to vote, and it directs states to remove non-citizens and improve list maintenance.
For Nevada, the Act would produce clean rolls free of dead voters, duplicates, and ineligible registrations. Only citizens would decide elections, and doubts would recede once eligibility is verified at the outset.
The SAVE America Act now faces steep Senate hurdles. It passed the House 218-213 but requires 60 votes to overcome a Democratic filibuster. Republicans hold a 53-47 majority, yet Sens. John Thune (R-SD), Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Rand Paul (R-KY), and John Curtis (R-UT)resist changing filibuster rules. Nevada’s Democratic senators, Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto, have publicly opposed the bill and are expected to vote against it.
Nevada residents statewide should also contact the Secretary of State’s Elections Division: nvelect@sos.nv.gov or (775) 687-8683. Clark County residents should also contact the Clark County Election Department to urge full cooperation on releasing the requested voter roll information: ELinfo@ClarkCountyNV.gov or (702) 455-8683.
Contrary to Democratic talking points, true voter suppression is not caused by voter ID or proof of citizenship, it stems from lack of belief in voting integrity. When Nevadans question whether their vote counts, confidence erodes and participation drops.
Despite these obstacles, the principle of complete voter integrity remains vital. Inaccurate rolls and eligibility doubts erode trust far more than straightforward verification requirements. By demanding proof of citizenship and accurate maintenance, Nevada and the nation can ensure that only eligible citizens decide elections and that every legitimate vote carries equal weight.
