* Nevada Republican Assemblywoman Alexis Hansen is advising her constituents that if they vote in the official state-run Presidential Preference Primary on February 6th that “your vote will only count” if you vote in the competing Nevada GOP’s “caucus” on February 8th.
* While it’s true that the presidential candidates can only win delegates to the GOP national convention through the caucus, your vote in the caucus WON’T count as a vote in the Secretary of State’s database.
* If you want your vote to count in your vote history record, you need to vote in the primary If you want to vote in the caucus, as well, you can do that.
* Hansen went on to note that Nikki Haley will be the only credible name on the primary ballot, as Mike Pence and Tim Scott have dropped out and the Nevada GOP wouldn’t allow candidates to file in both the primary and the caucus.
* So Hansen is advising voters who are supporting a candidate other than Haley to vote in the primary BUT vote for “None of the Above” (NOTA) since DeSantis and Trump won’t be on the primary ballot.
* That’s what I plan to do.
* When Pence and Scott dropped out, it was assumed that Haley would then breeze through and win the primary, virtually unopposed. But The DeSantis and Trump camps have a vested interest in her not doing well in Nevada.
* So if they’re able to rally their supporters to vote for NOTA in the primary before the caucus, Haley could instead emerge with a huge egg on her face.
* If you’re a conservative and aren’t quite sure what to make of the sudden “surge” in media attention Haley’s been getting, click here to read a detailed column titled, “Nikki Haley: Last Gasp of the Bush Republicans.”
* Meanwhile, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) is not a happy camper with Joe Biden’s illegal immigration policies.
* Today she announced an executive order sending the Arizona National Guard to the border, saying “the federal government is refusing to do its job to secure our border.”
* Welcome to the party, pal.
