Charles Fruit thinks Nikki Haley would make a good president. He thinks she did a good job as governor in South Carolina, and he was impressed with her work as United Nations ambassador during the Trump administration. “She was just tough, and I like that,” the Mesquite, Nev., resident said. “She was common sense. She was well-spoken. She was respectable.” That’s why Fruit was upset to learn that he couldn’t really help her become the Republican nominee. Haley — the second most popular Republican candidate next to former President Donald Trump — is not participating in the Feb. 8 Nevada...

Reports from Nevada tonight have indicated potential administrative failures at caucus locations around the state, which threaten to further marginalize its role in the Republican nominating process. The most damning allegations are that precinct officials failed to properly certify voters, and that because of it some participants were voting twice. There also is outrage over the fact that at one location, a precinct official was wearing pro-Donald Trump gear. It's important to note that caucuses, unlike primaries, are party-run affairs without governmental oversight. They are administered by the state party and the Republican National Committee, neither of which enforce...

The U.S.'s largest nurses union has accused Hillary Clinton campaigners of deceiving Democratic voters in Nevada at Saturday's caucuses by wearing red t-shirts that people typically identify with their union. Now the union is suggesting that Senator Bernie Sanders, who it endorsed for president, request U.N. election observers. Union spokesperson Chuck Idelson said that the red tees were not a first for Clinton supporters and that when nurses attending the caucuses pointed out the Clinton people to the press, they immediately changed back into Clinton campaign blue tees.

From coin tosses to high-card, Hillary Clinton cannot stop beating Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) 16% when luck takes the place of voters. To break tied precincts in the Iowa Caucus a few weeks ago, Hillary won every coin toss -- 6 out of 6 -- the odds of which are less than 2%. In Nevada's caucus today, Democrats played a game of high-low card to determine a tie. And super-lucky Hillary just won with an ace to Bernie's 6 in the precinct of Pahrump, Nevada. Wall Street Journal: The 30 voters in Precinct 10 at Morse Elementary School split even,...

Hillary Clinton's campaign is attempting to trick Bernie Sanders supporters in Nevada into voting for Clinton by disguising themselves as nurses affiliated with the National Nurses United union (NNU), which has thrown its support behind Sanders. NNU executive director RoseAnn DeMoro caught Clinton staffers red-handed changing from blue Hillary Clinton campaign shirts into red shirts of the same shade as the red shirts NNU members are wearing, in an apparent attempt to confuse voters....

'Hookers for Hillary' Announce the 'Benefits' They'll Be Offering to Clinton Supporters Hillary Clinton has her fair share of Hollywood and big name endorsers so far, but one group in Nevada has captured the attention of various news outlets. They are "Hookers 4 Hillary," and they are the Bunnies at Dennis Hof's Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Carson City, Nevada - a legal brothel. One of the employees, Caressa Kisses, 29, told The Huffington Post that she will be offering some benefits for Clinton supporters: "If you tell me you're caucusing or voting for Hillary, I will give you a free...

LAS VEGAS – Nevada Republicans early Monday released the final results of their Saturday morning caucuses. As projected, Mitt Romney easily won for a second time after his 2008 victory in the state. Romney finished with 50 percent. Newt Gingrich came in second with 21.1 percent, edging out Ron Paul who had 18.7 percent. Paul won second place in Nevada in 2008. Rick Santorum finished last with 9.9 percent. The results came nearly two days after voters began casting ballots Saturday morning. GOP officials blamed the delay on voting discrepancies and the old-fashioned voting method of handwritten ballots.

The voting ended half a day ago. The networks have called the race. The GOP presidential candidates have delivered their speeches and left the state. And, still, party officials in Nevada’s largest county continue to count the vote. “We are going to get this right,” Clark County Chairman David Gibbs told the Las Vegas Sun today. “If it takes us a little bit of time to get it rights, we are going to take the time.” Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was declared the victor of the Nevada caucuses Saturday evening, based on results from the rest of the state...

Today, the Ron Paul 2008 campaign is calling on the Nevada State Republican Party to re-examine what it calls multiple inconsistencies in the Nevada Caucus process, and to consider postponing the caucus, which is scheduled for Saturday, January 19. “The inconsistencies, errors and multiple changes in the rules reek of playing politics with the what should be a neutral process,” said Ron Paul 2008 campaign manager Lew Moore. “The people of Nevada deserve to know exactly what the rules are and to know that those rules are being fairly enforced. This has not happened up to this point, and the...
