Nevada’s election system is a house of cards in a desert windstorm, and it’s high time for heavy hitters to step up and fix it. From Edward Solomon’s jaw-dropping exposés on phantom votes and vote flips, we know the stakes: our votes, our voice, our republic. Enter President Donald Trump, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and U.S. Attorney for Nevada Sigal Chattah, powerhouses who could dismantle fraud and restore trust. This isn’t about party lines; whether you’re Democrat, Republican, or independent, a stolen vote robs you blind, no matter who you backed. Our elections are the sacred heartbeat of change in our communities and country, every legal voter deserves a fair shot, and the one with the most legit votes should win, period. Let’s break down how this team could act, why Washoe and Clark Counties’ identical voting patterns scream trouble, and why hand-counted paper ballots are the fix we all need.

Trump’s already swinging. In March 2025, he signed Executive Order 14248, directing the DOJ to probe voter rolls and fraud, sparking data requests in Nevada and beyond. He’s been vocal about securing elections, railing against electronic vulnerabilities in rallies, pushing for citizen-only voting verification to lock out noncitizen ballots. Picture him turning up the heat: Bondi, confirmed as Attorney General in February 2025, could lead the charge, leveraging her opioid-busting grit to coordinate with state AGs and sue over machine weaknesses, like those Solomon flagged in Clark County’s 2020 overcounts.

Enter Kash Patel, Trump’s FBI Director since 2025, a bulldog who’s declassified documents alleging Chinese interference in 2020 and isn’t shy about shaking up the bureau. At a minimum, he could launch federal probes into batch anomalies in Clark and Washoe Counties, where 2020 and 2024 data raised red flags, 26,942 vote decrements and 39,995 undervotes in 2024 alone. It’s mathematically impossible for every precinct in Nevada’s two biggest counties, separated by 400 miles, to vote identically. Solomon’s “see-saw” patterns, with vote boxes (STUV) mirroring unnaturally, suggest algorithmic tampering, like in Washoe’s and Clark’s mail-ins flipping votes. Patel could deploy FBI resources to dig into these, independently or alongside DOJ efforts, ensuring no stone’s left unturned.

Then there’s Sigal Chattah, U.S. Attorney for Nevada, a fierce advocate who ran for state AG in 2022 on an election integrity platform. At a minimum, she could prosecute fraud cases locally, targeting officials or systems enabling maladministration, something simple, think non-postmarked mail-ins or tampered records on Ballot Question 6. In 2024, Nevada “investigated” (yawn) over 300 fraud cases; Chattah could triple that, (but really only needs to focus on one issue, why did everyone vote the same), building on her experience challenging election processes. She and Patel could act solo or team up with Bondi, creating a multi-pronged assault on fraud, from federal to local levels.

For the skeptics and naysayers, this isn’t about sowing doubt, it’s about ensuring elections are legit for all. Democrats, Republicans, independents, it doesn’t matter. If your vote for or against men in girls’ bathrooms, lower taxes, or better schools gets erased, you’re robbed, plain and simple. Both parties have been hit: Clark’s 2020 overcounts hurt GOP margins, while Washoe’s and Clark’s impossible 2024 anomalies flipped tight races. Clean voter rolls are a start, Nevada’s purging noncitizens, with 4,000 flagged in 2020, but machines are the real area we must investigate. Until they’re “100% shown to be trustworthy” or simply gone, trust is a mirage. Solomon’s data shows algorithms could, and appear to have, manipulated outcomes, and federal law (52 U.S.C. § 20701) demands 22-month data retention, yet “updates” risk wiping 2024 records.

Here’s a simple fix for the skeptics, or even the level-headed: hand-count every election alongside machines. It’s not the labor-intensive, costly nightmare critics claim; experts say it’s feasible and transparent. Paper ballots, hand counts, voter ID, and citizen-only voting could squash 99% of fraud risks. Who’s against fair, honest, trustworthy elections? Cheaters. All parties, all legal voters, should rally behind this: the candidate with the most legit votes wins, no exceptions.

Trump, Bondi, Patel, and Chattah could make this real, federal probes, local prosecutions, and a push for hand-counts. Tune in for Part 6, where we’ll dive deeper into scrapping machines for paper ballots, the transparency Nevada craves. Got thoughts? Are we fighting for our republic, or letting it slip? Weigh in, what’s your move?
