REPAIR THE VOTE

Who We Are

Repair the Vote is a group of Nevada citizens who want all Nevadans to have faith and confidence that our elections are conducted properly, that those who vote are the actual registered voters, while reducing the potential for fraud and improper actions.

What We Have Achieved

We are proud to have recently submitted 179,000 signatures in support of our Voter ID ballot initiative. The overwhelming support from citizens across the state demonstrates a clear demand for measures that protect the sanctity of our vote. The initiative has now been validated with 185,573 signatures and assigned an official ballot question number, marking a significant milestone in our campaign.

Why Voter ID?

Voter ID laws are a common-sense approach to safeguarding our elections.  Here’s why we believe they are essential:

1. Preventing Fraud: Requiring identification helps ensure that each vote cast is legitimate and prevents instances of voter impersonation and other forms of electoral fraud.
2. Enhancing Public Confidence: When voters know that a secure system is in place, their confidence in the electoral process and its outcomes increases.
3. Protecting Democracy: By ensuring that every vote is counted and legitimate, we uphold the fundamental principles of democracy and ensure that the voice of every citizen is heard.
4. Public Support:
   • According to a 2021 Pew Research Center survey, 76% of Americans favor requiring all voters to show government-issued photo identification to vote.
   • A survey conducted by The Nevada Independent earlier this year found that 74% of Nevadans support Voter ID, compared to only 8% who oppose it. Support breaks down to 93% of Republicans, 62% of Democrats, and 68% of Independents in favor of this reform.
   • A Fox News poll conducted in June 2024 found that 84% of those surveyed in Nevada support Voter ID, compared to 14% who oppose it. Of those supporting President Joe Biden, 72% support the Amendment, while 95% of those supporting Former President Donald Trump would vote for it.
5. International Comparison:
   • Many democracies around the world require voter ID. For example, countries such as Germany, Canada, and Sweden have implemented voter ID laws and report high levels of electoral integrity and voter participation.
6. Voter Fraud Incidence:
   • While instances of voter fraud are rare, they do occur. The Heritage Foundation’s database of proven voter fraud cases lists over 1,300 instances of voter fraud in the United States since 1982.
7. Improved Voter Confidence:
   • Studies, such as one conducted by the University of Missouri in 2008, suggest that voter ID laws can increase public confidence in the electoral system. The study found that voters in states with strict voter ID laws expressed higher confidence in the fairness of elections.
8. Minority Voter Participation:
   • Contrary to some concerns, research from the National Bureau of Economic Research in 2019 found no significant evidence that voter ID laws negatively affect overall voter turnout or disproportionately impact minority voters. The study analyzed data from 2008 to 2016 and concluded that voter ID laws did not reduce participation among minority voters.
