Abstract: Objective: We examine the role of local election officials in voter suppression of Native Americans and opportunities for legal redress using state law. Methods: We present a case study of the Shoshone and Paiute Tribal leaders, Native activists, and lawyers in Elko County, Nevada, to provide electoral access on the Duck Valley Reservation. Results: We document the successful legal strategy against Elko County officials in state court following a newly adopted provision of the state constitution that committed Nevada to providing "equal access to the elections system without discrimination." Conclusion: This case study is a reminder of the discretionary power wielded by local election officials in the United States, and it presents a potential roadmap for fighting voting abuses using state laws and courts following the Supreme Court's Brnovich v. Democratic Central Committee (2021) ruling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
