Trump, GOP, sue Nevada over allegations of 'non-citizen voting'

A lawsuit from Republicans, including the campaign of former President Donald Trump, alleges that up to 4,000 noncitizens in Nevada might have voted in the 2020 general election, and that nearly as many such people will cast a ballot in November.

The complaint, which was filed in Carson City on Wednesday, lists Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar and the state and national Democratic parties as defendants.

“Nevada’s elections should be a reflection of its citizens’ voices, not influenced by non-citizens who have no legal standing to participate,” Nevada GOP Chairman Michael McDonald said in a news release. “Any efforts to allow non-citizens to vote threatens the very foundation of our elections and diminishes the power of lawful voters across our state. This isn’t just a legal issue—it’s about protecting the rights of Nevadans and preserving the integrity of our elections.”

The lawsuit seeks to have Aguilar’s office implement a system to verify that registered voters in Nevada are U.S. citizens, and to maintain that list.
“We have discovered evidence of thousands of non-citizens on Nevada’s voter rolls who may be able to cast ballots this November,” the Republican Party wrote in the release.

(which number is greater? 33,000 or 4,000?)

So even if 4,000 illegal immigrants somehow managed to vote (and such votes essentially don't exist) and every one of them voted for Biden, he would still have won by a large number.

It never fails to astonish me that Republicans never seem to understand basic math, such as which number is higher, or how many votes it takes to win, the answer to which is 50% plus one vote.
