WATCH: Rep. Dina Titus, Battle Born Progress Expose How Trump and Nevada Republicans Are Coming After Nevada Voters

WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Try And Stop Us convened a press call with U.S. Representative Dina Titus, Nevada State Senator Fabian Doñate, Battle Born Progress Communications Director Amber Falgout, and Center for American Progress Action Fund Senior Fellow Ben Hovland on how Trump and Nevada Republicans are coming after Nevada voters ahead of November.

The call came the day before early voting opens in Nevada. Trump’s Justice Department has already sued to seize every Nevada voter’s unredacted personal data and lost. Trump’s Department of Homeland Security then claimed as many as 15,903 noncitizens were on Nevada’s rolls, but the 185 voters it finally flagged were actually citizens, according to state records.

“President Trump has made it very clear that he wants to have a presidential role in determining the election process. Back in March of 2025, he issued an executive order that would have mandated changes to how we do voter registration, how we time voting, and when voting can count,” said U.S. Representative Dina Titus. “We need to remind the president, Article One, Section Four of the Constitution says elections will be left to the states, and the founding fathers did that intentionally. The states control the election process, and there is no role for the president or the federal government to do that.”

“Over the last few years, we’ve seen alarming claims from the Trump administration alleging basic falsehoods, not just to divide us, but also to disincentivize people from voting. They’ve alleged that non-citizens have been voting here in Nevada, and that’s not the case,” said State Senator Fabian Doñate. “In our state, we’ve had people from both sides of the aisle say that our elections are safe and secure, and we want to make sure that we protect the right to vote and that we’re confidently counting every vote accurately.”

“Over the past six years, we have seen an influx of false claims about who can vote, how ballots are counted, and whether our elections are secure. These are not harmless rumors. When voters are misled about their rights or the election process, it can prevent them from participating and create barriers,” said Battle Born Progress Communications Director Amber Falgout. “We need to be clear: misinformation and disinformation are forms of election interference when they are used to confuse, intimidate, or discourage eligible voters from casting their ballots.”

“Part of what the administration is nervous about is being held accountable by the voters. There are so many unpopular positions of this administration; people are tired of high prices, and they want action. And instead of doing that, the administration is trying to undermine confidence in the process. They’re trying to scare voters. They’re trying to deter people from participating because they don’t want people to make their voice heard,” said Center for American Progress Action Fund Senior Fellow Ben Hovland.
