Nevada’s first presidential primary in decades was drawing light voter interest Tuesday, with Democrats having banked ballots through early and mail-in voting while Republicans looked ahead to competing caucuses on Thursday.
The Nevada secretary of state reported that just 3,800 Nevadans showed up at the polls in the first three hours of voting Tuesday, as President Joe Biden faces only nominal opposition in the Democratic race and Republican front-runner Donald Trump isn’t even on his party’s ballot.
“Oh, this is a disappointing voter turnout,” a voter said as he arrived at an empty polling site at the Silver Springs Recreation Center in Henderson.
Nevada Republicans are holding separate caucuses Thursday to determine delegates to the national convention. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley does appear on Tuesday’s primary election ballot, though some Republicans voting Tuesday opted to vote for “None of These Candidates” to indicate their support for Trump.

TRUMP is only republican still in race on that onelandslide
I’m reading this that Americans are pissed and that the UniParty is only interested in making themselves rich.
Clearly some of this is changing in the GOP.
The question is it soon enough to move voters.
Please see my post 19 on this thread: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4215349/posts
It’s the caucus that elects the delegates.
Well, look at the junk that is on the ballot. Would you get up from your Lazy boy to vote for any of that?
So WHY bother with this useless "primary vote"?
“Well, look at the junk that is on the ballot. Would you get up from your Lazy boy to vote for any of that?”
I’m one of those people who’s never missed a vote.
No, that is not it. It’s because the primary is merely for show since no delegates are awarded - there is no reason to vote in the primary.
It’s the caucus where the delegates will be chosen.
Can’t imaging working at a polling place where no one shows up. Mail-they’ll find out how many votes to manufacture that way.
Somehow the primary was mandated by the state. Republicans have not had a primary for decades and preferred a caucus because there is less chance for cheating.
I wish someone from Nevada would explain it clearly, especially whether or not someone can vote in a primary and a caucus.
So has Haley lost to “None of the Above” yet?
That’s a shame. I was hoping Trump supporters would turn out in force to show their numbers for Trump and have an impact on downballot races.
“So has Haley lost to “None of the Above” yet?”
I would say that is a likely outcome. Haley cannot beat the “None of the Above” ticket. Hahahahha
I don't understand it either, but would like to.
“Would you get up from your Lazy boy to vote for any of that?”
YEP on steroids.... to vote “none of the above”.
No results yet and it’s past 10:30. Polls closed at 7pm, 10pm eastern.
Either it doesn’t look good for Haley and they need to fix the numbers, or the closing time in the stories is wrong. Or they’re REALLY slow.
He’s not on the ballot and there is no write in. trump is going through the caucus on thursday
Polls closed for 45 minutes, and no returns? Is something going on?
No results for the Democrat race either. So yes something’s wrong.
