Federal Judge Dismisses Nuns’ Lawsuit Against Smith and Wesson

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge in Nevada dismissed a lawsuit by a group of nuns that claimed Smith & Wesson violated its fiduciary duty to shareholders by making and selling AR-15s.

On May 7, 2024, Breitbart News reported a similar dismissal in Nevada’s Clark County District Court, after plaintiffs including the Adrian Dominican Sisters, Sisters of Bon Secours USA, Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia, and Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus & Mary, filed suit. They filed a suit claiming that the defendants, who are Smith & Wesson board members and the company’s senior management team, “knowingly allowed the Company to become exposed to significant liability for intentionally violating federal, state, and local laws through its manufacturing, marketing, and sales of AR-15 style rifles and similar semiautomatic firearms.”

Their suit was dismissed.

Now it is 2026 ,and another lawsuit, and it was dismissed again.

Nevada’s Elections Chief Won’t Say If He’s Probing Hundreds Of Allegedly Illegal 2024 Votes

/0 Comments/in , /by

Nevada’s Democrat elections chief is refusing to say whether his office is investigating claims of potentially hundreds of illegal votes cast in the state’s 2024 elections, The Federalist learned.

The situation came to fruition last month, when the Nevada-based Citizen Outreach Foundation (COF) began filing election integrity violation reports (EIVR) with the office of Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar, a Democrat. These formal complaints, according to the Nevada secretary of state’s website, can be used by citizens to report alleged violations of state election law and “must set forth the alleged violation of law and identify the party responsible for the violation, as well as set forth dates and times of specific occurrences, if practicable.”

If the secretary’s office determines a violation has, in fact, occurred, an “appropriate remedy shall be provided to the extent permitted by law.” Should the elections chief determine the EIVR does not allege a violation of election law, he “may dismiss the complaint or refer it to the proper agency for resolution,” with the complainant being notified of whatever action is taken.

Speaking with The Federalist, COF President Chuck Muth said his group has filed more than 500 EIVRs with Aguilar’s office over the last month contesting votes cast by mail in the November 2024 election. Comparing voter registration records, the U.S. Postal Service’s National Change of Address database, and the state’s 2024 election records, the group claims to have determined that these ballots were returned from addresses the affiliated registrants no longer reside at.

Unlike most states, Nevada requires local clerks to automatically mail individuals listed on the state’s active voter registration list a ballot during each election cycle, according to Ballotpedia.

Trump Becomes First GOP Presidential Candidate To Win Nevada Since 2004

/1 Comment/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump is projected to win Nevada’s six electoral votes, becoming the first GOP presidential candidate to win the state since 2004.

According to The New York Times, preliminary results show the soon-to-be 47th president leading Kamala Harris in the Silver State by 3.3 points, with more than 95 percent of votes tabulated. The projection was made early Saturday morning, days after Trump officially secured the minimum 270 electoral votes necessary to win the White House.

In a statement provided to The Federalist, Chuck Muth, president of the Nevada-based Citizen Outreach Foundation, attributed Trump’s victory in the Silver State to men who “saw a clear and present danger in putting Kamala Harris in the Oval Office.”

“They did what traditional men do when confronted with a serious threat — they showed up and voted for Trump,” Muth said. “Traditional men, with ample support from strong, intelligent women, saved America.”

The Associated Press projected that incumbent Democrat Sen. Jacky Rosen defeated Republican Sam Brown in the Silver State’s Senate race. As of this article’s publication, Rosen leads Brown by 1.4 points, with more than 95 percent of votes tabulated.

Nevada Supreme Court Handed down a Devastating Ruling on Mail-in Ballots and Election Integrity

/0 Comments/in , , /by

This presidential election will likely come down to key swing states, and could very well be a close and competitive race. If that’s indeed the case, though, we might not know the results until several days after Election Day. Monday’s ruling from the Nevada Supreme Court on accepting mail-in ballots without a postmark and after the election, not only doesn’t help the timeline, it also strikes a devastating blow to election integrity for years to come.

“By removing the necessity for any proof that a ballot has passed through the postal service and thereby negating a critical ballot security measure, the Nevada Supreme Court has opened wide the doors to rampant ballot fraud,” streiff aptly wrote at our sister site of RedState. He also included a copy of the court’s opinion.

As The Hill reported on Monday about the decision:

Nevada’s Supreme Court affirmed a lower court decision Monday allowing mail ballots to be counted if they arrive without a postmark up to three days after the Nov. 5 election.

A majority of the high court ruled the state law requiring mail-in ballots to be counted even if the postmark “cannot be determined” applied to ballots without any postmark, as well as ballots whose postmarks are illegible.

…

“If a voter properly and timely casts their vote by mailing their ballot before or on the day of the election, and through a post office omission the ballot is not postmarked, it would go against public policy to discount that properly cast vote,” Nevada’s majority opinion read.

…

“Requiring ballots to be postmarked on or before election day is a critical election integrity safeguard that ensures ballots mailed after election day are not counted,” said RNC Spokesperson Claire Zunk. “It is also a requirement of Nevada law. By allowing Nevada officials to ignore the law’s postmark requirement, the state’s highest court has undermined the integrity of Nevada’s elections.”

Report: More Than 300 Registrants Confirm They Shouldn’t Be on Nevada’s Voter Rolls

/0 Comments/in , /by

More than 300 individuals listed on Nevada’s voter rolls confirmed they have moved and should not be on the state’s active voter lists, according to a new report.

The revelation was disclosed in a Friday article authored by Citizen Outreach Foundation (COF) President Chuck Muth, whose Pigpen Project has been spearheading efforts to remove potentially ineligible registrants from the Silver State’s voter registration lists. The group utilizes government data to identify these questionable registrations and works with local election officials to ensure accuracy within the voter roll system.

While often seeking guidance on its challenges from Democrat Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar, the COF has faced roadblocks erected by Nevada’s elections chief and his office. Throughout the past year, the secretary has issued memos to local clerks seemingly aimed at stymying the group’s efforts to ensure the state has clean voter rolls.

The situation came to a head on Aug. 27, when Aguilar’s office issued a directive effectively instructing local election officials to stop processing the COF’s affidavits. This prompted the group to file lawsuits last month that sought to force clerks and registrars to comply with their challenges.

While the suits were withdrawn due to technical issues, Muth told The Federalist earlier this week he intends to re-file them after the 2024 general election. (Read more from “Report: More Than 300 Registrants Confirm They Shouldn’t Be on Nevada’s Voter Rolls” HERE)

Paperwork Mix-Up by Democrat Leads to Third Party Candidate Being Left off Ballot in Swing State

/3 Comments/in , /by

The Supreme Court upheld the Nevada Supreme Court’s ruling Friday blocking Green Party candidate Jill Stein from appearing on the state’s ballot for the 2024 presidential election.

The Democratic Party originally sued to remove the Green Party from the presidential ballot for paperwork violations. They alleged that the Green Party included inappropriate language on its signature ballot petition making the signatures on that document void. . .

“The anti-democratic party has just gone on the attack,” Stein said. “The Green Party in Nevada and volunteers in Nevada collected 30,000 signatures, incredible, 30,000 signatures in Nevada, three times the number of signatures that’s required in the state.”

A state court ruled against the Democratic Party originally. The case then went to the Nevada Supreme Court, which found that the Nevada secretary of state’s office sent the Green Party the wrong paperwork, calling it “an unfortunate mistake.” The court also ruled that removing Stein’s name due to the error would not violate the Constitution.

Major Nevada County Pressured to Rubber-Stamp Election After Delaying Certification to Probe ‘Mishaps’

/0 Comments/in , /by

After the Washoe County Commission refused to certify a recount result following multiple allegations of misconduct, Nevada Democrat officials want to force them to certify the election results anyway.

The July 11 primary races for County Commission District 4 and School Board Trustee District G were contested. The county held two recounts, which showed practically the same results as the primary, with County Commissioner Clara Andriola winning her District 4 race and Perry Rosenstein winning his school board race, according to The Nevada Independent.

Fellow Washoe County Board of Commissioners Mike Clark and Jeanne Herman voted with Andriola on Tuesday, however, to not certify the recount results of the primaries after allegations of suspicious behavior were made during the public comment portion of the Tuesday meeting.

Andriola reportedly said it was “not the first time that we’ve heard a lot of concerns of procedures, a lot of concerns of alleged mishaps” that she would not certify the recount. “I believe that it warrants further investigation,” she said.

While Andriola — who Herman described to The Federalist as a member that typically sides with the Democrats — won her own race, she cited an election violation complaint filed with the county as her reason for not certifying the results.

In Nevada’s Biggest County, Nearly 40,000 Ballots Counted Despite Arriving After Election Day 2022

/0 Comments/in , /by

As a Nevada law allowing mail ballots received up to four days after Election Day to be counted faces a legal challenge, a fresh look at Nevada’s 2022 vote count reveals the potentially election-flipping number of mail ballots that were counted despite arriving after Election Day. In just Clark County, nearly 40,000 mail ballots were counted that arrived in the days after voting supposedly ended, roughly 5 percent of the county’s total ballot count.

In that same election, Republican Senate candidate Adam Laxalt led Democrat incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto on election night but eventually lost by less than 8,000 votes statewide. For comparison, two years prior, Joe Biden narrowly beat Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election in Nevada by 33,596 votes.

In the closing days of battleground Nevada’s crucial 2022 U.S. Senate race, Laxalt pulled ahead of incumbent Cortez Masto. On Oct. 21, leftist organ Politico fretted over news that Laxalt had “inched ahead” of Cortez Masto as a “bad sign” for Dems, considering the former Nevada attorney general was down by 3 points a month earlier.

“Cortez Masto was long seen as the most vulnerable Democratic incumbent in the Senate, the most likely to fall should a ‘red wave’ sweep the country and punish Democrats this midterm season,” wrote Vox senior politics reporter Christian Paz shortly after the election.

But the wave never materialized for Republicans in a midterm election that was supposed to be a referendum on an extremely unpopular president. While the GOP won back the House by a paper thin majority, the Senate remained in Democrat control and the many races that were “supposed” to go red, didn’t.

School Forces Girl to Say Explicit Language in Graphic Sexual Assignment

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A federal lawsuit against a Nevada school system over a teacher’s demands that a student read an offensive, sexually explicit and obscene script – written by another student – is continuing.

The American Center for Law and Justice reports the court denied in part the school’s demands that the case be dismissed. . .

“Our clients’ daughter, who was 15 at the time, was required to perform a sexually explicit monologue prepared by another student, and edited by the teacher, before the entire class.”

It began, “I don’t love you. It’s not you, it’s just (looks down) your d***. I don’t like your d*** or any d*** in that case.” . . .

The parents “tried several different avenues to bring their concerns to the school but found it unresponsive to their requests and complaints. Ultimately, a lawsuit was filed against the school district, and the ACLJ, alongside Lex Tecnica Ltd. (a firm committed to protecting students, parents, and teachers from the Clark County School District), represented this family in federal court,” the ACLJ said.

The Next Early Nominating State Is Just Around the Corner — And It’s Not South Carolina

/1 Comment/in , /by

While all eyes are on South Carolina following New Hampshire’s Republican primary on Tuesday, one state will hold its nominating contests two weeks earlier — Nevada.

Nevada is holding a state primary on Feb. 6 and a party-run caucus two days later, but only one of the nominating contests will count for awarding delegates to the Republican National Committee’s July convention. While former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley will be on the primary ballot, former President Donald Trump is the only major Republican candidate competing for delegates in the Nevada GOP-run caucus.

“I know that some people got angry when CNN called Iowa before people voted, but you could’ve called Nevada months ago,” Jeremy Hughes, a Republican strategist based in Nevada, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Nevada Republican Party had been holding caucuses in presidential cycles for decades until former Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak signed legislation in 2021 requiring a primary system for such elections. The state GOP has pushed back against the new law, deciding to hold the caucus anyway and award the 26 delegates proportionally through its results.

Republican presidential candidates could only participate in one nominating contest at the state party’s direction. (Read more from “The Next Early Nominating State Is Just Around the Corner — And It’s Not South Carolina” HERE)
