Sean Parnell's Feb. 22 response to PolitiFact

Sean Parnell sent the following response to a PolitiFact reporter for this fact-check on Feb. 22, 2024:

I really appreciate you reaching out. It sounds like you’re asking me to do an investigation of this specific incident in Nevada but fortunately it’s not necessary because we can look at history as a reference and draw reasonable conclusions from there.

The premise of your question is flawed and ultimately misses the point of my post on Instagram and the core of the issue itself.  That is, mail in voting is not the best way to conduct an election. It is also not the best way to build confidence in the electorate, the latest issue in Nevada is just one recent example.

Serious concerns regarding mail in voting were found in the Commission on Federal Election Reform, which was chaired by former President Jimmy Carter.

It was also the position held by the New York Times in 2012.

You can read that article here:

Headline: Error and Fraud at Issue as Absentee Voting Rises

It’s also reasonable to assume that these concerns are the basis for why mail in voting is banned in most developed countries

‘Most developed countries ban mail-in ballots unless the citizen is living abroad or require Photo-IDs to obtain those ballots. Even higher percentages of European Union or other European countries ban mail-in ballots for in country voters.’

Original Research: Why do most countries ban mail-in ballots?: They have seen massive vote fraud problems

With these concerns in mind it’s fairly easy to conclude that we have issues here in America as well, is it not? Given our government’s long history of misrepresenting the truth, perhaps we should not trust any Secretary of State’s explanation as the final word on the matter since they usually are interested in protecting a narrative and not the truth. Has anyone investigated to see if what the Nevada Secretary of State said about this issue was true?

Have you reached out to Cisco Aguilar? If so, will you please let me know? No one is denying that the voter history information is wrong. If there’s an investigation being done, it would just be getting started. So it’s premature and unreasonable to demand evidence and even more so to request the ‘number of fraudulent ballots cast’. What you’re asking is essentially the same as asking someone the cause of death prior to an autopsy being conducted, is it not? It seems to me that you’ve already prejudged this issue based on your line of questioning.

Perhaps we should allow for an open and honest discourse in the service of reforming institutions paid for by US taxpayers, especially when it’s about an issue as important as election integrity.

Thank you. Have a great day.
