A voting rights group founded by a former Missouri Senate candidate is planning a move into Nevada.

Let America Vote, a political action committee headed by former Missouri Secretary of State Jason Kander (a Democrat who lost a close race to Sen. Roy Blunt in 2016), is planning to expand its operations into Nevada ahead of the 2018 midterm elections, including hiring and moving several staff members to a future Las Vegas office.

The group, which says it opposes “extreme voter suppression laws,” reported raising around $2.4 million last year, and plans to open other statewide offices in Iowa, New Hampshire, Georgia and Tennessee.

The PAC says it has hired Martin Fitzgerald, who most recently served as Democratic Assembly Speaker Jason Frierson’s Chief of Staff during the 2017 legislative session, as its Nevada state director. It’s also planning to move two staff members — National Field Director Ben Tyson and Digital Director Suzy Smith — to Nevada ahead of the election.

The group also took its first swing at a Nevada Republican on Wednesday, adding Republican state Senate leader and lieutenant governor candidate Michael Roberson to its “Voter Suppression Hall of Shame,” over his support for requiring an official identification to vote and recall efforts targeting three state senators.

“His recall campaign is a last-ditch effort to give Republicans a better shot at winning a majority in the Nevada state Senate in November,” Kander said in a statement. “He doesn't respect democracy and he doesn't deserve a promotion to a statewide office.”

Though Roberson has been a vocal proponent of the recall efforts targeting state Sens. Joyce Woodhouse and Nicole Cannizzaro, the efforts are actually being funded by the Republican State Leadership Committee, which reported spending more than $1 million on the effort through 2017.

In 2011, Roberson sponsored SB373, which would have required voters to show a government-issued identification card in order to cast a ballot. The measure never received a vote.
