"Nikki Haley's Nevada Loss and the Impact of 'None of These Candidates' on Elections"

Nikki Haley faced a distant second-place finish behind "none of these candidates" in Nevada's Republican primary, facilitated by Trump allies who lead the state's GOP and ensured Trump's lock on the state's delegates. Nevada's GOP chose to hold party-run caucuses, favoring Trump, and barred candidates from competing in both the primary and caucuses. Haley criticized the process, refused to pay the fee to compete in the caucuses, and focused on campaigning in her home state of South Carolina. Nevada's GOP leaders and Trump supporters urged voters to support "none of these candidates" as a way to express dissatisfaction with Haley and show support for Trump.

Nevada GOP Officials Face Felony Charges for Impersonating Pro-Trump Electors

Six top Nevada GOP officials, including the head of the Nevada Republican Party, have been indicted on felony charges for falsely pledging the state's electoral votes to Donald Trump in the 2020 election. The charges include offering a false instrument for filing and uttering a forged instrument. These officials were part of a group of false electors who signed certificates falsely claiming to be the legitimate representatives of the state's voters in the Electoral College. Nevada is the third state to bring criminal charges against false electors, following Michigan and Georgia.

"Voter Confusion Mounts as Nevada Hosts Dueling GOP Presidential Nominating Contests"

The Nevada GOP plans to hold its own caucus despite a new state law calling for a primary election, leading to concerns about voter confusion and extra costs for GOP campaigns. The party-run caucus will determine which candidate receives the state's delegates to the Republican National Convention, rendering the primary results irrelevant. Critics argue that the move benefits former President Donald Trump. Caucuses have been criticized for making it harder for people to vote, while primaries allow for early voting and mail voting. The Nevada GOP is considering other options to eliminate the primary, including appealing the case to the Nevada Supreme Court.

GOP officials granted immunity for fake elector testimony in Jan. 6 probe

Nevada GOP Chairman Michael McDonald and Republican National Committeeman Jim DeGraffenreid received limited immunity to testify to a grand jury about their roles in the effort to overturn the 2020 election in Nevada. They provided testimony about former Nevada attorney general and U.S. Senate candidate Adam Laxalt and Trump campaign lawyer Jesse Binnal, both of whom were involved in the efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The pair’s inclusion in the probe and offer of limited immunity suggest that federal prosecutor Jack Smith’s team is narrowing in on the Trump campaign plot in seven states, including Nevada, to send an alternate slate of electors to cast votes for former President Donald Trump in states he lost.
