The Voters of Nevada Choose ‘None Of The Above' In Democratic Primary For Gov

Eight candidates were vying for the Democratic nomination for Nevada governor, but the winner wasn’t even on the ballot. With over 20,000 votes, 30% of all cast, “none of the above” was the clear winner in Tuesday’s primary.
That was 3,600 votes more than the “winner” – former State Economic Development Commissioner Robert Goodman, Fox News reports. Ouch. That’s gotta hurt.
Nevada allows its voters to select “none of the above” in elections for President and statewide office. The last time “none of the above” received the most votes was 1976, in a Republican primary for U.S. Congress.
Goodman will face incumbent Gov. Brian Sandoval in November, who is expected to easily win reelection.
What does this say about candidates for office? To admit that any of the Democratic candidates did not inspire the confidence of voters would be a bit of an understatement. If they want to be successful, Nevada Democrats need to do some serious soul-searching before the next election cycle.
