LETTER: Despite Wayne Allyn Root’s accusations, there’s no evidence of widespread voter fraud in Nevada

In his Thursday column, Wayne Allyn Root writes with a straight face that there is massive voter fraud in Nevada. Perhaps he can give us the names of, say, 10,000 voters he knows for a fact voted fraudulently. What? He can’t do that? So he is basically saying that because something is easy to do, everyone will do it.

Shoplifting is easy, so does Mr. Root do it? Some people, including illegal immigrants, still have morals. They may use someone else’s Social Security number because they must in order to work and feed their family. They don’t have to vote. And no study has ever shown that they do vote in massive numbers.

The Pew study to which Donald Trump keeps referring doesn’t count dead people who voted, it counts only dead people still on the voting lists. That does not mean they someone voted in their name. Since there are many studies showing voter fraud is not a “massive” problem, as Mr. Root suggests, perhaps he should wait until there is evidence. Otherwise, he is just being irrational.

The R-J should acknowledge that Mr. Trump’s lies, frauds, defamations, criminal indictments and convictions are exponentially worse than Hunter’s laptop being evidence or any of the other alleged Biden missteps.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

LETTER: Columnist gaslights about Donald Trump

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.
