Ballot Battleground: Nevada podcast: New bipartisan push to rebuild faith in elections

RENO, Nev. (News 4 & Fox 11) — A Republican and a Democrat — both well-respected in Nevada politics — are joining together to help rebuild faith in our elections through the Democracy Defense Project.

This week, Ballot Battleground: Nevada podcast host Ben Margiott interviews the Nevada co-chairs, former Governor Brian Sandoval (R) and former Assembly Speaker Richard Perkins (D).

Sandoval and Perkins explain how they hope to help turn the tide on the crisis of confidence in our electoral process and why it's so difficult for some Republicans to admit the truth about the 2020 election.

Plus, Gov. Tim Walz makes his first campaign stop in northern Nevada after cancelling a planned rally to focus on the Davis Fire.

And finally, we fact-check two commercials about Question 3, the ballot measure that would bring ranked-choice voting and open primaries to the Silver State.

Ballot Battleground: Nevada takes deep dives into the people, policies and debates shaping politics in our critical battleground state.
