On the evening of May 19, the Nevada Senate passed SB 292 on a 12-9 party-line vote, with all Democrats voting in favor and all Republicans voting against. It makes it more difficult to place new or previously unqualified parties on the ballot. In imposes a severe distribution requirement, and moves the petition deadline from mid-June to mid-May. It also puts a straight-column device on general election ballots. Now it goes to the Assembly.
Assembly has a democrat majority and governor is a dem so expect it will become law.
What is kind of odd about this is that Nevada does not have an abundance of minor party or independent candidates qualifying for the ballot anyway, so what is the point of this?
But I thought the DemoKKKrats wanted easier voting access and more voting options. That’s what they and Richard Winger and people like Robert K Stock claim. This should be reported to the national news.
When was the last time a state that hadn’t previously had a straight ticket put one in?
NV – a marginal D/R State [about 10 of 50 total] —
Neither D/R gang wants ANY divide/conquer competition.
Question, setting aside Michigan, which see-sawed during the last ten years on that, no state has ever switched its government-printed ballot from not having the device, to having one. In other words, except for Michigan, all states with the device initially started using the device at the same time they started using government-printed ballots. No state ever got along without it and then decided to add it.
Democrats want things easy, only if it helps Democrats.
Democrats are communists.
