Nev. Move to Block Some Dem Voters Fails

by ADAM GOLDMAN, Associated Press Writer

LAS VEGAS - Elections officials have rebuffed an
attempt by a former GOP operative to purge about
17,000 Democrats from the voter rolls in the
battleground state of Nevada, where the two
presidential candidates are in a dead heat.

Dan Burdish, former head of the state Republican
Party, filed a challenge last week claiming the
Democrats should be removed from the rolls because
they were inactive voters.

But Clark County Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax
rejected the move Tuesday, saying Burdish could only
challenge voters in his precinct, and then only if he
has personal knowledge that they are inactive.

"I don't think pulling names off a database equates to
personal knowledge," Lomax said.

Under state law, voters are placed on "inactive
status" if they move and don't update their addresses
within 30 days of receiving notice to do so. Their
registrations are then canceled if they don't vote in
two consecutive federal elections.
