1. There is no excuse for a backlog

Except, of course, women are the victims.

2. We know why,

and it falls directly on the Nevada Republican Party. Each and every time Legislation was proposed for funding the Cities and Counties to clear up their Rape Kit backlog,they used every POS excuse to kill it off. There again,it is all about the Culture of the State,we are seeing a real positive change,more Women in the Legislature and they are for the most part,LIBERAL Democrats.
