In Nevada, Attorney General Ford said his office can't confirm or deny the existence of an investigation, but said the report is on their radar, and they take seriously any attempts to rob Nevadans of their votes.

There has been an effort to invalidate the 2020 election and to downplay the shocking actions that took place after. Any attempts to overturn a free and fair election will not be accepted by my office. Ford said in a statement that voting rights are fundamental to the democratic republic.
The incident is being reviewed by the New Mexico Attorney General.
