A mail ballot package requires much more paper and printing than a regular ballot cast at the polls.
Mail ballots require added labor and equipment/software/licenses to process compared to voting at the polls.
Mail ballots create processing bottlenecks; delays results with late arrivals, curing and canvass efforts.
Mail ballots use cutting edge technology, requiring added tech support.
Mail ballot processing equipment relies on the Internet, requiring costly cyber-defense tools and services.
The majority of mail ballots are wasted; the ballots/packages adding to pollution.
The True Cost of Mail Ballots in Nevada
On average, 70% of mail ballots are not counted.
In the 2024 general election, approximately 1.4 million mail ballots were not returned.
The 2024 general total cost of universal mail ballots is estimated to be between $10 and $12 million.

Non-Transparent
The built-in lack of transparency in Nevada’s Elections
“You can’t handle the truth!” Literally.
The Drawing of the remodel of Washoe’s new elections warehouse is not publicly posted. A photograph copy recently obtained is available by clicking the button:
Nevada law requires that all voting systems and software undergo rigorous testing and approval. The tests are not public information, however.
Follow the link below then scroll down to State and Federal Certification and also Logic and Accuracy Testing for explanation of certain tests performed.
The county clerk/ROV collects and publicly posts the following information: A report on each malfunction of any mechanical voting system. And, the results of any audit of election procedures and practices conducted pursuant to regulations adopted by the Secretary of State.
There is a noted lack of transparency in voter data, caused by reduced data, age instead of birth date, county and state voter ID numbers, the inability to cross reference data (apples to oranges), and the Secretary of State requiring a login for and approval of data requests and a possible fee.
The public is denied by statute from receiving test results or audits of ASV. There is no way to objectively verify that ASV is accurate.
Public records requests must be submitted to the specific government entity that created or maintains the records—in other words, the government entity with legal custody or control of the records. The Nevada Public Records Act does not authorize the Attorney General to regulate governmental entities’ responses to public records requests or address requesters’ complaints regarding those requests.
A Civil Rights Complaint
re: Sample Ballots
A redacted version of the complaint is linked below for your edification.
Election Integrity Violation Report re: Sample Ballots
Delivered to Washoe County on May 22, 2026: The complaint alleges discrimination based on lack of Internet use by a large swath of voters, including but not limited to those in rural areas and tribal lands, and those who are poor, illiterate, non-tech savvy, disabled, or just don’t use the Internet.
Currently, the sample ballot provides party-wide information that does not reflect the actual ballot the voter will cast which is party-precinct specific. To obtain the party-precinct sample ballot, voters are forced to follow a QR code to the county’s website where they can mark, download, and print what constitutes the pull-out unofficial ballot (in place of the 2022 standard). Many voters rely on a truly accurate sample ballot that is mailed and which is their right to receive. Remedies are requested.
Public Comments on the Sample Ballot
Judi: “I’m very disappointed in the sample ballot I received. It is too confusing. While I live in Washoe County my sample ballot included nominees for both Reno and Sparks mayor, Sparks city council, and a couple of school board districts I don’t believe I live in. While I personally can and will research more online, this is going to be very confusing to people.”
Tammy: “I live in unincorporated Washoe County, as you know, and my ballot as a sample ballot is showing the City of Reno and the City of Sparks on top of what I should be voting for. Now, you talk about trying to confuse people, that’s really going to confuse people.”
Requested Remedies
This complaint demonstrates both state-law violations and clear federal civil-rights and voter-protection violations through disparate impact and denial of equal access. We request immediate corrective action:
– Reinstatement of precinct-specific, detachable pull-out sample ballots on thicker, color-coded paper for all future elections;
– Full functionality fixes to the online eSample Ballot with printed alternatives offered upon request; and
– An independent audit of the 2026 sample-ballot process to restore voter trust.
Accurate, accessible, and voter-friendly election materials are essential to protecting the fundamental right to vote for all citizens, especially the most vulnerable and those who don’t have or use the Internet.
NON-COMPLIANCE
Nevada is not in compliance with federal and state laws of elections and consumer protection.
Federal
Too much of a voter’s Personally Identifiable Information (PII) goes unprotected in Washoe County, putting voters at risk of identity theft and forgery in violation of voter and consumer rights, federal laws, and state laws.
State
Implementation of the Precinct Scanner-Tabulator violates or undermines the laws mandating that the counting board tabulate the paper ballots and tally the votes for the Accuracy Certification Board’s review and official approval—not the voter.
There’s no justification for implementation of the Precinct Scanner-Tabulator that outweighs the infringement of voters’ rights because the solution is so simple and readily available and consistent with the law:
Federal
Nevada sued by the DOJ for refusing to cooperate with federal oversight of voter registration and non-citizen registration.
