Sharron Angle (R)
In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, Sharron Angle, through her organization the Election Integrity Project of Nevada, filed multiple lawsuits alleging widespread voter fraud. These claims were dismissed by courts for lacking credible evidence. Despite these setbacks, Angle continued to assert that the election was stolen and advocated for the decertification of Nevada’s results.
Angle has also opposed measures aimed at expanding voting access. In September 2020, she filed a lawsuit challenging Nevada’s plan to send mail-in ballots to all active registered voters. Both a District Court judge and the Nevada Supreme Court rejected the lawsuit, stating that the group failed to provide concrete evidence of potential fraud.
