In their own words

-

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-nev.:

“Our electoral processes have been proven safe and secure by the courts in Nevada, and I am confident in our Republican secretary of state, who protected our elections and was censured by the Nevada Republican Party for doing so.”

Rep. Dina Titus, D-nev.: “I am concerned ... about outside groups seeking to interfere in the election process by intimidati­ng poll workers and election officials, as we saw in 2020. Poll workers should be able to do their jobs and voters should be able to cast their ballots without fear or pressure.”

Elizabeth Mercedes Krause (running to unseat Rep. Mark Amodei, R-nev.):

“Unlike voter suppressio­n, election fraud is rare and often accidental. There is no evidence of systemic voter fraud in the 2020 election. After nearly two years of recounts and court cases, the bottom line is that claims of meaningful voter fraud remain unsubstant­iated. The American people spoke.”

Rep. Susie Lee, D-nev.: “Regardless of the outcome, I will accept the results of my election because I value the voices of the people that I represent. Meanwhile, my opponent filed multiple lawsuits to overturn the will of the voters in her own race in 2020. Not only do I believe that there was not enough meaningful voter fraud in 2020 to sway the outcome, but it was proven in the court of law.”

Cisco Aguilar (Democratic candidate for secretary of state):

“I don’t have to win this race because of the 2020 election, I have to win it because of the 2024 election. Nevadans deserve the right to vote for a president and be confident the winner is fairly elected. Jim Marchant has refused to say he wouldn’t send false electors to Washington if he’s in office. For this system to work, it needs trust. I’m running to be a secretary of state every Nevadan can trust, no matter how they voted.”

Jim Marchant (GOP candidate for secretary of state):

“I don’t know (if there was meaningful voter fraud) and truly no one does; our attempts to audit the election machines have been constantly shut down.”

Stavros Anthony (GOP candidate for lieutenant governor): “Don’t know since voter fraud allegation­s were never investigat­ed.”

Mark Robertson (GOP candidate for Congressio­nal District 1):

“I believe we should make it easy to vote and difficult to cheat. I agree with the 85% of Americans who think we should require voter ID. I would stop the very expensive and unnecessar­y practice of universal mail-in ballots. I would also like to eliminate third-party ballot harvesting, which makes it too easy for dishonest people to commit fraud.”
