Indy Elections, a newsletter from The Nevada Independent, offers in-depth coverage of the 2024 elections in Nevada, from the presidential race to the battle for control of the Legislature.
In this edition, we delve into why Republicans are actively challenging Nevada’s election system through lawsuits. Despite the efforts of the GOP, the majority of their lawsuits have been dismissed or denied, with one still pending. These legal actions are part of a broader strategy to contest election laws in key battleground states.
The Nevada GOP Chair, Michael McDonald, views these lawsuits as necessary to build trust in the electoral process. However, Democrats see them as a tactic to cast doubt on election integrity and lay the groundwork for post-election disputes.
Additionally, new polling data reveals Vice President Kamala Harris leading in Nevada by a significant margin, a first outside the margin of error. This development sheds light on the evolving dynamics of the upcoming election.
In our newsletter, we explore the policy positions of candidates in crucial state legislative races, providing insights into where they stand on key issues. We also analyze Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent speech in Las Vegas and former congresswoman Berkley’s return to the political arena.
Moreover, our Indy Poll Watch section highlights the latest polling data on likely voters in Nevada, showing interesting trends in voter preferences.
