Addendum to Nevada Voter Bill of Rights (NRS 293.2546) and/or stand-alone resolution
To Whom It May Concern,
As a registered voter in the State of Nevada, I hereby endorse and submit this legal paper, advocating for enhanced integrity and transparency in our election processes. This paper outlines critical procedures to be implemented to ensure the sanctity of our elections. I respectfully request your support and action to immediately incorporate these measures into our existing election framework:
The following must be adhered to as set forth in NRS sections 244, 288, 293, 293A-C, along with all additional relevant NRS sections and the Nevada Constitution.
Chain of Custody:
Chain of custody shall be followed throughout the entire ballot creation and transport process, from creation to counting of the ballot, in accordance with the relevant sections of the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS). Protocols for the chain of custody will be established collaboratively with election officials and security experts, adhering strictly to the NRS. These protocols shall be published on the county website for accountability. The procedures from the start of ballot creation to the counting of the ballot and storage of the ballot after counting shall be published on the county website by the last day of the election counting process for all to see, ensuring security and transparency that the process was followed.
Signature Verification: The process of signature verification must adhere strictly to the protocols set forth in the relevant sections of the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS), thereby upholding the accuracy and legitimacy of voter identification. (Signature verification will employ the latest technologies and best practices recognized nationally, enhancing both accuracy and efficiency).
Ballot Counting and Verification: To guarantee the integrity of the election results, all ballot counting and the verification of marked bubbles shall be conducted simultaneously with any machine tallying. This manual verification process will involve an equal representation of registered voters from Storey County, spanning all political affiliations, to ensure fairness and impartiality. If hand counts cannot be done simultaneously, then the hand count will commence immediately after the machine counts every 100 ballots.
Oversight and Transparency: The oversight of the manual counting process will be managed by a seven-member board, including the County Clerk, the Registrar of Voters (ROV), and five registered voters from Storey County, with representation from two Democrats, two Republicans, and one non-partisan member. In counties with no ROV, the county assessor will take the ROV's place. This board is charged with addressing and resolving any discrepancies between machine and manual counts. Furthermore, to promote transparency, the entire process will be live-streamed, and any discrepancies identified will be promptly reported on the county's website, alongside the actions taken to rectify such issues.
(Oversight board member selection will be transparent, incorporating public input, with live streaming designed to protect voter privacy)
Legal Accountability: Any election contractor or worker found in violation of the above processes will be subject to prosecution in accordance with the relevant Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS). (Legal consequences for process violations will be proportional and aligned with existing election-related statutes).
By signing this legal paper, I express my commitment to the principles of election integrity and transparency. I urge my political representatives to consider these proposals seriously and to take swift action to incorporate them into our electoral practices.
I agree to Addendum as stated above.
