On June 12, Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo vetoed AB 597.  It would have let independent voters vote in partisan primaries.  Lombardo is a Republican, and the Republicans in the legislature had unanimously opposed the bill.

Here is the veto message.  It says the voters rejected a top-five ballot initiative last year, and therefore the bill violates the will of voters.  This is a stunning non sequitor.  The bill and the initiative are very different.  The Governor refers to both ideas as an “open primary”, but he is misusing accepted vocabulary.
