Washoe’s Dirty Voter Rolls: 25 Florida Voters Still ‘Active’ on New List

(Chuck Muth) – As noted in my last update, a representative of the Washoe County Registrar of Voters’ (ROV) office said in a recent television interview that the ROV conducts DAILY list maintenance operations as well as “bulk” list maintenance at various times.

Dan Burdish, our expert data analyst and chief numbers cruncher, submitted 25 challenges to voters who were on Washoe’s “active” voter registration list on September 13, 2025.

Those voters not only filed a permanent official change of address and appear on the National Change of Address (NCOA) database with the United States Postal Service (USPS) but had re-registered to vote in the state of Florida.

All 25 challenges were nevertheless REJECTED by the Registrar, claiming they lacked “personal knowledge” of the facts.

Well, yesterday was November 1^st. So Mr. Burdish checked the updated Washoe voter list to see if any of those 25 challenged voters had been caught by the ROV’s daily and/or bulk list maintenance operations.

You won’t be surprised to learn that the ROV missed all 25.

Indeed, they’re all still on the “Active” list but could have been removed if the ROV had simply accepted our challenges and mailed out the required confirmation postcards.

So don’t let anyone – especially Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar – tell you the voter rolls are “clean” and that you should have faith in the security of our elections, especially as it relates to mail-in ballots.

And because it’s such a huge issue and problem, let me share some additional information on this “personal knowledge” BS that Secretary Aguilar keeps using to block us from participating in voter roll clean-up efforts.

There are two different options for challenging a voter suspected of moving out-of-state: Section 547 and Section 535.

Section 547 challenges require that the person challenging the suspected “moved” voter have personal knowledge of the VOTER.

Section 535 challenges, however, require that the person challenging the suspected “moved” voter have personal knowledge of the FACTS the challenge is based on.

Secretary Aguilar refuses to allow county clerks and registrars to accept our Section 535 challenges, arguing that they lack “personal knowledge” – without acknowledging that the required “personal knowledge” is significantly different in the two statutes.

So the real question comes down to whether or not an individual can obtain “personal knowledge” of the FACTS from research of records and databases.

Yes. Yes, they can. Under certain circumstances.

Personal knowledge can be derived from a review of official records only when the individual has direct, firsthand awareness of the information contained in those records and has personally verified the facts relevant to a voter’s eligibility or residence.

This means simply accessing or viewing official records does not automatically confer personal knowledge unless the person has independently reviewed and can attest to the accuracy of the records firsthand.

Thus, personal knowledge derived from official records can occur under these circumstances:

• The records are officially maintained and accessible under Nevada election laws.
• The challenger has personally examined these records.
• The challenger can attest that the information personally reviewed supports or disproves voter eligibility.
• The knowledge is not secondhand or hearsay but a result of independent verification from official data sources.

For the record, Mr. Burdish’s challenges were based on the official Nevada voter registration database, the official NCOA database of the USPS, and the official voter registration database of the state of Florida.

And here’s the exact procedure Mr. Burdish followed in submitting his challenges:

1. He personally downloaded the “statewide voter registration list” from the Nevada Secretary of State’s website.
2. He personally submitted, and paid for, the NCOA list and downloaded the results.
3. He personally looked up all registrants who had filed a permanent NCOA form with USPS indicating a move to Florida and compared it to the Florida Secretary of State’s official “Voter Information Lookup” website.
4. He personally confirmed that the First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, and Suffix were the same for Nevada and Florida.
5. He personally confirmed the date-of-birth was the same for Nevada and Florida.
6. He personally confirmed that the registrant was registered at the address the NCOA was filed for.
7. He personally confirmed that the individual registered in Florida after they registered in Nevada.

In other words, Mr. Burdish absolutely, positively has “personal knowledge” of the FACTS upon which his challenges were based.

And yet…

All of his challenges were rejected.

And all 25 of those Florida voters remain on Nevada’s “Active” voter registration list.

So the question is: Why does Secretary Aguilar and the Washoe ROV WANT these voters, who no longer live in Nevada, to remain on Nevada’s active voter registration rolls?

It’s a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

P.S. This Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar will be holding a public hearing on his proposed new “Elections Procedures Manual” for 2026.

Of particular importance to the Pigpen Project’s efforts are the proposed sections on “List Maintenance” and “Challenges.”

Our team is reviewing the proposed changes and will be submitting written testimony,  especially as it relates to Secretary Aguilar’s opinion on the definition of “personal knowledge”  – which does not exist in statute.

Indeed, Aguilar tried to sneak his definition into a bill during the 2025 legislative session, however, Gov. Lombardo, fortunately, vetoed it.
