Election Fraud, How Much Is Too Much

I have been involved in the election integrity battle for over 20 years as a researcher, today I am running for Nevada Secretary Of State. I will implement and enforce Voter ID after Nevada votes in 2026.

How much election fraud is acceptable? The honest answer should be: none. Yet, those who oppose voter ID laws or other basic protections downplay election crimes as “rare” or “insignificant or conspiratorial, ignoring the documented history proving otherwise. One fraudulent vote has the potential to sway close races, disenfranchise lawful voters, and dilute the principle of “one person, one vote,” undermining the foundational principle that every legitimate ballot counts equally. Election crime cancels the voice of a legitimate voter. That’s theft.

Election laws exist to protect the voting process—just as laws govern theft, embezzling, or murder. We don't say, “Only 0.0001% of people rob banks, so we don't need vaults, cameras, or alarms.” Instead, protecting the integrity of the system is non-negotiable. Fraud threatens the legitimacy of elections, breeds mistrust, and fuels political polarization. We can't stop election crimes if we refuse to admit it’s happening or are lenient on the punishments. Here are some examples of election crimes and punishments in Nevada:

• ACORN Voter Registration Fraud (2008) ACORN's "Blackjack" or "21-Plus" program incentivized workers with a $5 bonus for registering 21 or more voters per shift violating Nevada's election laws, which prohibits paying individuals based on the number of voters they register. Clark County District Judge Donald Mosley described the organization's conduct as a "mockery" of the electoral process, likening it to practices in a "banana republic." Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, along with Dallas Cowboys players were registered to vote in Nevada. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) was charged with 39 counts of voter registration fraud in Nevada. ACORN pled guilty to one felony count and ceased operations in 2010.

• Christopher Howell Edwards (2008) Edwards, the Las Vegas Field Director for ACORN, paid employees to fill out phony forms. He pled guilty and was sentenced to three years of probation for two gross misdemeanors and required to pay restitution.

• Amy Busefink (2008) employee of Project Vote, a partner of ACORN, was sentenced to a year of probation after pleading no contest to two counts for paying for registration of voters.

• Roxanne Rubin (2012) tried to vote twice during early voting in Nevada. She pled guilty to a lesser charge, paid a fine, and was assigned to community service and an impulse control class.

• Biqui Diana Parra Rodriguez (2011–2012) pled guilty to two felony counts of registration fraud and identity theft in Nevada.

• Hortencia Segura-Munoz (2014) an illegal alien living in Washoe County, registered to vote under a false name and cast ballots in the 2008 and 2010 Nevada elections. She was sentenced to 103 days in jail (with credit for time served) and ordered to pay $1,000 in costs and fees.

• Tina Marie Parks (2016) in Nevada was charged with 11 felonies, pled guilty to one and was sentenced to 48 months in prison.

• Stephen Gregory Zority (2014) was convicted of voting twice in the 2014 general election. He was sentenced to probation and paid a fine. In 2016, he was charged with seven felonies for paying a woman with at least $175 in gift cards and cash to register voters in Clark County. Zority was sentenced to one day in jail for each offense, with five days credit for time served, and ordered to pay $10,028 in fines.

• Renaldo Johnson (2017) was indicted for multiple charges of submitting fake ballot signatures and pled guilty to one felony.

• Patrick Duffy (2018) was indicted on 13 felony charges for falsifying signatures on petitions to qualify the Nevada Green Party for the general election ballot. He pled guilty to one category “D” felony and was sentenced to probation, community service, and attended an election integrity seminar.

• Stan Vaughn mailed thousands of campaign pieces first class using Clark County Registrar Voter Roll addresses that were returned as undeliverable— underscoring the need for regularly updated voter rolls.

• Mailballots found in streets / trash / roadways (2020) Mailin ballots alongside a road near Lone Mountain, pinned to bulletin boards, in trash cans, and apartment lobbies.

• Donald Kirk Hartle (2021) Las Vegas, voted using his dead wife's mail-in ballot. He pled guilty to voting twice and was sentenced to probation and fined.

• Craig Frank (2021) voted twice in the 2016 general election. His 12 to 30 months prison sentence was suspended.

• Double Voting Cases (2022) The Secretary of State's office investigated 146 instances of double voting in the 2022 general election, 0.0001% of ballots cast— 44 referred for further investigation, three for prosecution, and 29 closed without action.

• Public Interest Legal Foundation PILF (2024) filed a lawsuit against Clark County Registrar of Voters with evidence that hundreds of voters were registered using commercial addresses such as casinos, strip clubs, gas stations, and vacant lots. Nevada state law requires voters to register at their residential address. The Registrar investigated, confirmed PILF’s evidence, and cleansed the voter rolls, to comply with state laws.  PILF filed to dismiss the case but highlighted systemic vulnerabilities. PILF also reported that in 2020 and 2022, more than 90,000 mail ballots were undeliverable in Nevada.

• Mark White (2025) voted in Nevada and Arizona during the 2020 general election. He pled guilty to a category E felony and was sentenced to 18 months of probation with a suspended sentence.

Election crime is difficult to detect and prosecute, but it does occur in Nevada. The punishment is often suspended or very lenient. Each documented case—from illegal double voters to fraudulent registrations at vacant lots—exposes the vulnerabilities in our election system. We lock our doors at night not because we expect to be robbed, but because unlocked doors are an opportunity for crime. We should not tolerate election crime or excuse it. We need to prevent it by putting protections in place, like Voter ID.

Without the right Secretary of State in Nevada, Voter I.D. will not be implemented after we worked so hard to make it a reality. I have been involved in the election integrity battle for over 20 years as a Nevada Assemblywoman, as a researcher, as a national speaker, as the producer of a documentary, and even as a victim in court. I have firsthand experience against Harry Reid unlike my opponent who served as an apprentice of Harry Reid and the Reid Machine. I know the opponents of Voter I.D. and they know I am serious about making sure Voter ID is actually implemented after the 2026 election.

Yes, I need your help to do this. I’m looking for Angle’s Angels, and I’d like you to be one of them. You can help us win this battle and change the direction of Nevada and our country. To raise the $5,000,000 it takes just $12 a month until election day in 2026 or $35 each quarter from you, that's 6 times between now and election day in November of 2026. We have to implement Voter I.D. in Nevada after voters approve it again, and I am the most qualified and experienced person to do the job. Is this issue to secure our elections worth the investment to make this happen? I believe it is and I believe you do too, which is why I am in the race, and asking for your help. You can join the race to secure Nevada elections here!
