Election officials in Clark County, Nevada, are investigating voter registrations listing commercial addresses like strip clubs and casinos, following a lawsuit that exposed widespread issues with improper voter rolls.
Election officials in Clark County, Nevada, which includes Las Vegas, are investigating voter registrations listing strip clubs, gas stations, casinos, and other commercial properties as home addresses. The issue was brought to light by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), which found that numerous registered voters had used addresses like Larry Flynt's Hustler Club, a 7-Eleven, and Harry Reid International Airport as their primary residences.
In Nevada, where ballots are automatically mailed to all registered voters, these faulty registrations raised significant concerns. PILF had requested Clark County Registrar Lorena Portillo to clean up the voter rolls in June, but when the request was denied, PILF filed a lawsuit. This legal action forced Portillo to investigate the questionable registrations and remove improper entries from the voter rolls.
"Because of PILF’s lawsuit, Clark County was forced to investigate crazy addresses listed as residences on the voter roll, including strip clubs, casinos, and gas stations,” said PILF President J. Christian Adams. He emphasized the importance of addressing such issues in a state where mail ballots are automatically sent to registered voters. "Without this litigation, mail ballots would have gone to improper addresses," Adams noted.
Faulty registrations have been a persistent issue in Clark County. During the 2020 presidential election, more than 92,000 mail-in ballots sent to active voters in the county were returned as "undeliverable," representing over seven percent of the 1.2 million ballots distributed.
