  1. The bad thing is that it gets really hot in Nevada in the summer, so it is not the best time of year to gather petition signatures there. There might be some parts of the state that are cooler, but I don’t think many people live in those places.

  2. Around 3/4 of the population, or close to it, of the population of Nevada lives in Clark County, which is the Las Vegas area. It will be very hot there.
