Let America Vote announced the 2022 inductees into its Voter Suppression Hall of Shame, an ongoing list dishonoring the biggest anti-democracy and anti-voting rights politicians. The 2022 inductees are extremist candidates who deny the results of the 2020 election, are threatening to deny the results of the 2022 election, and want to be in a position to overturn the will of the people in the 2024 election. In Nevada, Jim Marchant, Sigal Chattah, and Joe Lombardo were all inducted to the Voter Suppression Hall of Shame this cycle.
“Jim Marchant, Sigal Chattah, and Joe Lombardo are dangerous politicians who pose an extremist threat to our democracy. They’ve proven they refuse to listen to the will of the voters and want to sabotage future elections for themselves and their political allies,” said LAV President Tiffany Muller. “We’re inducting them into our Voter Suppression Hall of Shame for their election denial and extremist policies that will silence the voice of Nevadans and restrict the freedom to vote.”
Jim Marchant said all Nevada elections since 2006 were fraudulent, and everyone elected since then was installed by a cabal. Marchant was involved with the scheme to send fraudulent electors in 2020, and said he’d consider doing the same in 2024.
Sigal Chattah spouted lies about voter fraud and has called for measures to restrict the freedom to vote.
Joe Lombardo baselessly said there was fraud in 2020 with no evidence, and called for ending Nevada’s mail voting system.
Jim Marchant could:
-
Restrict access to the ballot box for Nevadans by eliminating accessible methods of voting like vote-by-mail.
-
Refuse to certify election results if his political allies don’t win, silencing the voice of the people.
Sigal Chattah could:
-
Launch baseless investigations to undermine the public’s faith in elections and push for new voting restrictions.
Joe Lombardo could:
-
Push for restrictive anti-voting laws.
