Nevada Democrats are ramming through legislation to make last year’s chaotic “emergency” voting procedures permanent.
On Wednesday, the Democrat-controlled General Assembly approved a measure that would legalize ballot harvesting and make universal mail-in voting a permanent fixture of elections, both changes that were initially implemented to be temporary last year.
Assembly Bill 321, now moving on for consideration in the upper chamber, requires registered voters to opt out rather than opt in to receiving a mail-in ballot. The law sets up ballots to be sent out automatically as they were in the fall, where nearly all votes cast were by mail, according to the Nevada Secretary of State’s office.

COVID-19 pandemic, such as ballot harvesting, while also eyeing the addition of straight-ticket voting to state law.
On Wednesday, the Democrat-controlled Nevada General Assembly passed Assembly Bill 321, a measure that legally codifies ballot harvesting and expanded mail-in voting measures initially implemented as the COVID-19 pandemic coincided with the 2020 election cycle.
Additionally, the state Senate is considering Senate Bill 292, which would implement straight-ticket voting in the state. This means voters could check a single box at the top of the ticket to vote for all the candidates of a particular party.
Republicans say they are concerned that the two bills could undermine voters trust in elections.

LAS VEGAS (AP) Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo is considering running for governor in 2022 as incumbent Democrat Steve Sisolak seeks another term.
Lombardo told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that he hasn’t made a decision about whether he will run but he would do so as a Republican.
“I’m kicking the tires,” Lombardo said. “I’m thinking about what my future looks like. I’m in my final year of my second term as sheriff. There is no term limit for sheriff. I’m contemplating what my future is going to look like.”
