Approximately 9,000 mail-in ballots in Nevada will remain uncounted after voters miss the Tuesday, November 12, deadline to resolve signature issues. Election officials reported that while over 23,000 ballots statewide were successfully “cured” before the deadline—representing 72 percent of those requiring corrections—meaning thousands remain disqualified. Clark County, Nevada’s most populated region, accounted for the most…

Some people carve up their skin to feel something. Me? I drown myself in whiskey–straight from the bottle. Burn it down, scrape it raw. That’s how it goes. People slice each other open when they hurt. I take the hit myself, keep the mess on the inside. Better me than them. Said I was too…

As Washoe County faces growing scrutiny over alleged election mismanagement, Clark County revealed on Thursday, November 14, that 1,600 mail ballots had gone uncounted during this month’s election.

Perhaps I am unwell, further sickened, most notably by the fact that I write too much–or do I not write enough–and how will the story end? I sit here in this dusty room, the sun’s last dying rays filtering through the grimy windows, casting shadows that dance like ghosts around me. The typewriter stares back at me, a silent judge of my excesses and inadequacies. The bottle on the table is half-empty—or is it half-full? And who the fuck cares? The whiskey burns its way down, a reminder that I am alive and still feel. Outside, life hums its usual dirge of misery and madness, a constant backdrop to the solitary symphony of my damn existence. I think about the stories written, the words spilled like blood on the page. Each one a confession, a scream in the dark. Too much, not enough, always the same damn questions. But the answers? They elude me, dancing just out of reach like the fleeting affections of a passing lover. The typewriter remains silent, the words stubbornly trapped between my mind and fingertips. Perhaps they are afraid to come out–to face the same scrutiny I face. Or maybe they abandoned me, leaving me alone with my thoughts and…

It was a regular winter’s day up in the Comstock region, where the snow fell thicker than a miner’s beard after three months on a mountain, and the wind howled like a gang of hungry coyotes. The National Weather Service, bless their hearts, went ahead and issued a blizzard warning for Northern Nevada and Northern…

The sun blazed like a relentless adversary in the sky, casting harsh shadows across the high desert. I hitched up my pack, feeling the grit beneath my worn boots. Out here, it was just me and the elements–a test of endurance and will. The landscape stretched endlessly, punctuated by tough sagebrush and the occasional defiant Joshua Tree. My target was the ridge, rumored to guard ancient petroglyphs carved by hands long turned to dust.…

Recently released email communications between Nevada GOP lawyer Brian Hardy and officials at the Nevada Secretary of State’s office have shed light on an alleged clerical data error that created confusion during the final days of mail-in ballot counting for the 2023 Nevada general election.
