Here's what you need to know about today's Nevada presidential primary

On Tuesday, both Republicans and Democrats will vote in the primary, as is state law.

But Republicans will have another opportunity to vote later this week — because the Nevada Republican Party, who wanted to do a caucus, like they did before, pushed back against the 2021 laws. In order to "protest" the state-run primary, the party will be hosting their own caucus on Thursday. Per the rules, candidates participating in the caucus cannot also have their name on the ballot of the primary.

As a result, former President Donald Trump will only be an option in the Thursday caucus and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley will only be an option to primary voters. Still, no law prohibits registered Republican voters from participating in both contests.

And there is an additional catch: Only the caucus awards delegates, which makes Trump the de facto winner — as the only viable candidate — before any votes are even cast.

As Steve Bannon, along with Republicans involved in the process in Nevada have been saying, is that this primary is all about giving Nikki Haley a leg up in the primary race for the Republican Party.

So vote in both.

Watch the liberal media gloating that Haley WON the Nevada primary with 90% of the vote or whatever but failing to mention Trump wasn’t on the primary ballot and the primary was utterly pointless as no delegates were awarded.

Wikipedia is claiming voters can only participate in either the primary or the caucus.

Maybe some locals can chime in and clarify this point.

Here’s another article that explains what’s going on in Nevada. This sounds like a confusing mess.

The vote today will be incorrectly reported as candidate “X” trounced PDJT. Well yeah since he is not on the ballot. He is however on the caucus papers for Thursday. And,per the NV gopE that is where the NV delegates will be decided. NOT the rep ballot. A lot of folks confused. A LOT don’t know where to go for the caucus for their district.

You are allowed to do both. Some folks early voted and marked “None of these candidates”. Then they will go to the caucus and choose the person that will receive delegates. The “ winner” from Tuesday gets ZERO delegates.

Not an option. Besides which, for the gopE in NV, the ballots are a waste of tax dollars.

here’s the skinny:

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4449774-nevada-primary-ballot-haley-none-these-candidates/

“the [GOP] party has said only the caucus counts when it comes to allocating delegates to the national party’s convention later this year.”

“The Nevada GOP also barred candidates who opted for the primary from joining in the caucus contest, meaning Haley and Trump can’t directly compete in the Silver State.”

“Your primary vote doesn’t mean anything. It’s your caucus vote,” Trump told supporters in Las Vegas last month. “So in your state, you have both the primary and you have a caucus. Don’t worry about the primary, just do the caucus thing.”

thus, haley has zero possibility of winning a single Nevada delegate

furthermore, Nevada always requires “none of the above” on the ballot, so there’s a good chance that haley will lose to “none of the above” if enough Republicans decide to vote in BOTH the GOP caucus and the State primary ... that is: “Second to None”!

Going to caucus in Thurs. to vote for Trump.

You can’t vote for Trump in both.

Trump is not even an option on the primary - so she will be the winner. But the primary will not give her any delegates so just ignore the primary.

The caucus is the one Trump is listed on, and she is not.
The caucus will award delegates to the winner - which will be Trump.
