On February 22, 2024, the Nevada Policy Research Institute published a paper titled “Efficient, Timely and Reliable, A Framework for Election Law in Nevada. It is written by Walter Olson, Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute.
I found its content on election administration interesting, even though the report is minorly marred by several typos.
Nevada has recently had a poor performance regarding timely reporting of election results, and Olson points out that there are tradeoffs and tensions between competing goals of an election system.
Among his recommendations are:
#1: Nevada should complete its transition from “county-led voter registration to a so-called top-down system with extensive statewide direction”…”with a single constantly updated statewide uniform database overseen by the secretary of state.”
#2: An accurate voter database should be a top priority, with investment in “multiple frequently refreshed high-quality data sources and proactively reaching out to households and addresses following evidence of moves and other relevant changes.”
#3: “Nevada should stay in the Electronic Registration and Information Center, and work to improve and refine its capabilities.”
#4: “To keep voters informed of the progress of their ballots, Nevada should finish the job of adopting strong ballot tracking and notification.”
#5: In addition to their signature, voters should have to write their driver’s license number or last four digits of their Social Security Number on their mail-in ballots.
#6: Nevada should invest in making ballot drop boxes more secure and in employee protocols for handling ballots, and
#7: End the practice of ballot harvesting.
Here is the Nevada Policy report on Nevada election administration.

Patriot Jesse Kelly said it best. “The only reason Democrats want drop boxes and early voting is because they cheat and they want to cheat more.”
I know that’s right!
