I actually voted early last week. Nevada uses touchscreen voting machines with paper printout verification prior to casting the final ballot. Not a problem in my book.
For the U.S. Senate, I went with incumbent John Ensign. Whenever Jack Carter uttered the words “I’ll be Nevada’s voice to Washington”, it seemed to translate in my mind as “I’ll be a ho for Harry Reid”.
U.S. House: Shelley Berkley; as no serious Republican challenged her. Had I remained a Green Valley resident, I would’ve cast my vote for Jon Porter. As for Tessa Hafen’s campaign attacks accusing Porter of being a Bush “yes man”, she offered no guarantee that she wouldn’t be a Nancy Pelosi “yes woman” (God forbid she becomes Speaker of the House).
For Nevada governor, I held my nose and voted for Jim Fibbins — er, Gibbons (as of this day, we’re still unclear if he’s been had or just plain caught red-handed; do a Google search). Although the governor’s mansion might be the end of the line for his overall political career, I couldn’t see myself touchscreening the circle for Dina Taxes — er, Titus. Also Titus strikes me as being a mean person who’s extremely left-wing underneath all that feigned centrism. State representative votes went to Republican Barbara Cegavske and Democrat William Horne (who ran unopposed).
Other state offices: Brian Krolicki for Lt. Gov., Don Chairez for Attorney General, Steve Martin for Controller, Ross Miller for SecState, and Kate Marshall for Treasurer.
State Ballot Questions 1 through 11 (minus Question 3): Yes, yes, no, no, no, yes, yes, no, no, and no.
State Supreme Court: Michael Cherry, Michael Douglas, and Nancy Saiita.
We’ll see how the rest of the state voted later tonight…
