Nikki Haley loses Nevada's Republican primary to ''none of the above''
[GEO.TV] Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley
...Trump administration's former ambassador to the UN. First woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At the age of 39, Haley was the youngest governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Jindal. She is a Republican, which really grates on the Dems...
embarassingly lost in Nevada's primary falling behind votes marked "none of these candidates" by Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
supporters, Rooters reported citing findings of Edison Research.

Haley, the last remaining rival to Trump, was the only major Republican candidate contesting the party's Nevada primary on Tuesday as the former president was not on the ballot.

Meanwhile,
...back at the Council of Boskone, Kinnison began his slow infiltration of the sewer system...
US President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier...
won Nevada's Democratic presidential primary, securing 90% support with over 70% of votes counted.

As an incumbent, Biden faces minimal opposition within his party to run for re-election in a likely November general election rematch with Trump.

#1 So did anyone else. She got 30% while everyone else got barely 1% or lower. Trump wasn't on the ballot and none of the above got 67%. Do the math.

#2 That is almost too surreal.

#4 This has happened before but never by this wide a margin, so they have rules that declare the 2nd place finisher the winner. Nikki is technically the winner, but the look is so bad that she is circling the drain.

#5 To top it off, that 'election' doesn't even determine the Nevada GOP delegate votes. It was a circus run by the Dem controlled legislature. The actual votes will be determined by a GOP caucus that will be run by the party itself.

#7 At 5PM today voting at the Douglas County Community Center the Nevada GOP caucus will overwhelmingly choose Trump!

#9 No way should the second place finisher be declared the winner. Dunno how the delegates to the Republican Convention will be allocated but, if they want to do this the right way, delegates proportional to the votes for "None of the above" should be free agents and not allocated to Haley.

#10 Remember, everyone who voted "None of the Above" took time and effort out of their day to do so.

That is, indifferent people just ignored it.

On the other side of the ticket, was Brandon and someone named Marrianne Williamson who runs on a hard-left platform. I wonder how much of that 10% she got, and if from the Californians voting in Nevada.

#11 Ruh roh.
Looks like they've taken ol' Brandon off his meds.

#12 None of the above should always be on the ballot- and would almost always get my vote.
