By Doug Goodman -Founder & Executive Director Nevadans for Election Reform – February 5, 2022
As we start the election year of 2022, voter registration numbers for January, in spite of being a voter roll maintenance month, showed no change in the pattern of Non-Partisan voter share expanding its lead. Thanks to Nevada Independent CEO Jon Ralston, we also have a picture of movement between the major parties and Non-Partisan.
