Amy Rose moved from Henderson, Nevada, to Davis, California, with her husband, who’s a major in the Air Force, for him to pursue his Ph.D., she told KSNV. However, the couple cast absentee ballots in Nevada and shortly after the election, Rose said she found their current and former nine-digit zip codes on a list of 3,000 people the Trump campaign claimed fraudulently cast ballots.
“We put two and two together and realized, ‘Yeah, Wow.’ It’s shocking to see ourselves there,” Rose told Military.com. “To see my integrity challenged, along with other members of the military to be challenged in this way, it is a shock. And to be potentially disenfranchised because of these actions, that’s not OK.”
On Thursday, the Nevada GOP posted on Twitter that the group’s attorneys sent a criminal referral to Barr containing “at least 3,062 instances of voter fraud.” The Nevada GOP added that “thousands” of people were identified who “appear to have violated the law by casting ballots” after moving out of the state.
A letter from the attorneys said they cross-referenced the names and addresses of voters with the National Change of Address database and that they expect the list to “grow substantially.”
Rose told KSNV that the couple is still eligible to claim Nevada as their home despite living in California for the past two years because families don’t have to change their residency if they’re in a state on orders for the military.
“My husband and I have both been accused of fraud,” said Amy Rose. “We take our duties as citizens very seriously, and it’s just a shock to see that this accusation had been made without any basis in fact,” Rose said.
Newsweek reached out to the Trump campaign for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.
Along with Barr, attorneys for the Nevada GOP sent a letter to Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria with their findings. Gloria confirmed he received the letter during a Friday press conference and said they’ll have to “begin to look through that.” However, he said people regularly vote in Nevada’s election despite not living there.
“This is a military town. We have Nellis Air Force Base. We also have several students that travel outside of the state to go to school,” Gloria said. “So we’ll have to look through those numbers, but it’s not out of the ordinary at all for somebody not to live here, but be eligible to vote here.”
On Monday, the Nevada GOP said they wouldn’t share the list of names of who they referred to the Department of Justice because of privacy concerns and that they have “no way to confirm” if a “small number of these voters fall under an exemption.” They said their inability to confirm if the votes were valid was why they referred it to the authorities for further investigation and added, “all valid voters’ votes should be counted.”
Among the addresses on the list are 130 Army Post Office addresses, nine Fleet Post Office addresses and 16 Diplomatic Post Office addresses, according to Military.com. Rose told the outlet it was “pretty obvious that hundreds of military people are on this list.”
