Where they stand: Aguilar vs. Marchant

Aguilar
MarchantNo public position found
Aguilar
Our core values are modernization, innovation, and transparency, because government doesn't work if people can't trust it to deliver. Nevadans expect secure, transparent, and accessible elections, and they need to know the data they entrust to the government when they register to vote will be protected. This year, MIT ranked Nevada's elections second in the country. I'm not content to be second, because we can and should be the best.

Marchant
I would like to eliminate mail-in voting. Matter of fact, I want to go back to precinct-level voting. I want to do precinct-level hand counting. I want to use paper ballots with countermeasures built in, because I think there's too much opportunity for manipulation.
