Voter confidence is down in Nevada, so what’s being done?

It’s no secret voter confidence in the election process is down, especially in the swing state of Nevada.

Several voters told Channel 13 they don’t believe in fair and free elections and they believe the last presidential election was the catalyst.

Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar has reassured voters there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the state, but some voters said they simply don’t trust the election system.

Voter Sterling McPherson told Channel 13 he feels voting is safe but could be better.

“I think that some of the voting could be safer, and more trusted if we are able to help with making sure that ballots are not just electronic,” McPherson said.

Channel 13 spoke to ACLU of Nevada voting rights attorney Sadmira Ramic, who told us about the nonprofit’s election protection program called Voter Protection Alliance.

“The priorities of the program are to make sure that the election is conducted accurately and fairly, and that all individuals that are eligible to vote can cast their ballot,” Ramic said.
