Voting rights group threatens Nevada with possible DMV lawsuit
By Sean Whaley, Las Vegas Review-Journal
CARSON CITY — Voting rights advocates said Monday they have sent a pre-litigation notice letter to Nevada officials, warning that the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles is failing to meet its federally mandated voter registration obligations.
Attorneys representing Mi Familia Vota Education Fund and Nevada resident Eleanor Newell sent the letter to Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske and Terri L. Albertson, director of the DMV.
The attorneys are threatening litigation if the state does not comply with the law.
