Las Vegas’s CBS News affiliate reports:
A Las Vegas man is accused of forging his dead wife’s signature on her ballot, mailing it in and then claiming it had been stolen. Donald “Kirk” Hartle, 55, faces two charges relating to the 2020 election, records showed. The charges come after an investigation from the Secretary of State’s Office, which investigates any voter fraud allegations in connection with the Nevada Attorney General’s Office.
Rosemarie Hartle’s ballot was one of two cited by Nevada Republicans as evidence of voter fraud in Nevada. “How did the forged signature pass [Clark County’s] signature verification machine?” the Nevada GOP tweeted in November regarding the case. “And this is isn’t the only case of a deceased person voting in NV.” Hartle faces charges of voting using the name of another person and voting more than once in the same election. If found guilty, Hartle faces up to four years in prison and a fine of $5,000 for each charge.

“It made no sense to me,” Hartle told me in November. “It lent some credence to what you’ve been hearing in the media about these possibilities and now it makes me wonder how pervasive is this?”
A review at the @NVSOS found it wasn’t pervasive.https://t.co/aT3f7nV741

“Disbelief” and “sickening”… That’s how Kirk Hartle feels about someone voting in his deceased wife’s name.
How did the forged signature pass @ClarkCountyNV’s signature verification machine?
