Nevada Holds Dual Republican Contests Amid Primary Elections

Nevada's unique electoral process features both a state-run primary and party-run caucuses for Republicans, creating a complex voting scenario.

Nevada hosts its first-in-the-West presidential nominating contest with simultaneous Republican primary and caucuses, leading to potential dual victories for Nikki Haley and Donald Trump.
The Nevada GOP insists on caucuses as the sole method for earning delegates, despite a state law transition to primaries aimed at improving voter access.
Over 59,000 Republican and 95,000 Democratic ballots cast ahead of the primaries, with significant participation through mail-in voting.
Trump opts out of the primary ballot, focusing on the caucuses, while Haley remains the major GOP contender in the primary.
Biden expected to secure another win in the Democratic primary, facing minimal opposition on the ballot.
