More votes counted than cast in Nevada 2020 General Election, analysis of voting files shows

“…An analysis of Nevada state voter data shows a 9,000-vote difference between those marked as having participated in the 2020 General Election and the number of ballots actually cast.

The non-partisan Voter Reference Foundation (VRF), which officially announced its launch this week, compared the states’ official certified vote totals to the state official voter files, which indicate how many individual Nevada voters were recorded as actually having cast ballots last November.

It found that 15 of Nevada’s 17 counties certified more ballots cast than there were individual voters recorded as voting. Clark (5,869 more) and Washoe (2,191) had the largest discrepancies, according to the analysis.

Statewide, VRF calculated 1,398,790 individual Nevada voters as having voted, 8,952 fewer than the state’s official certified total of 1,407,754.

The final election results in Nevada had Joe Biden defeating Donald Trump by 33,596 votes, or 50.06% to 47.6% of the vote.

In conducting its Nevada analysis, VRF said it obtained the state’s file of registered voters and their voting histories. Those listed as having voted in 2020 were then extracted and totaled by precinct. Those totals were then compared with the state’s official certified totals.

In a news release, VRF said it has analyzed more states than Nevada. In all of them, the “totals do not match.” It plans to release more state analyses in coming weeks…”
