In the upcoming Nevada Presidential Preference Primary (PPP), Democrats seem to be resorting to familiar tactics to tilt the scales in their favor. The recent voter turnout in Washoe County during the early voting period raises eyebrows, hinting at a potential failure in an orchestrated effort to manipulate the democratic process.
Currently, the voter turnout stands at 16 percent, with nearly 51,000 ballots cast by mail or in person out of the 319,000 registered voters. It is not unusual for Democrats to outpace Republicans in early voting.
During the early voting period, 29,698 registered Democrats cast their votes compared to 21,276 registered Republicans. However, it’s crucial to note that many Republicans have chosen to participate in the Nevada GOP caucus on Thursday, February 8, where the only candidates on the ballot are former President Donald Trump and Ryan Binkley.
The preference for mail-in ballots is another cause for skepticism, with 92 percent of votes cast through this method. While voting by mail is a legitimate option, such an overwhelming reliance on it raises questions about the security of the process and the potential for abuse.
What adds to the suspicion is the historical context surrounding Nevada’s PPP. The state last implemented this system in 1980, as Democrats were motivated by a fear of Ronald Reagan and desperate, tried to confuse voters and sway the outcome, they resorted to the PPP. Fast forward to the present, and it appears that Democrats are pulling the same old trick out of their bag to secure an advantage.
Add to this the mailing ballot for the PPP, which warns the voter that voting twice is against the law. While truthful, it can provide a sense of fear in anyone who exercises their right to vote “None of the Above” in the PPP and desire to exercise their right to caucus.
Judging by the early voting numbers, many voters are more intelligent than some believe.
