LAS VEGAS (AP) — Two proposed statewide initiatives failed to gather enough signatures to make the November ballot in Nevada, leaving five proposed constitutional amendments for voters to consider, including a measure to recognize same-sex marriages. ...
... The group’s proposal would have amended Nevada's Constitution to have an appointed commission, rather than the Legislature, redraw statewide voting districts after the next U.S. Census.
The other ballot initiative that failed to turn in signatures would have amended the Nevada Constitution to change the way state senators are elected including shortening terms of office and instituting a version of ranked choice voting.
Here's a look at the questions that will be on the November ballot:
Question 1 on the ballot would remove the Board of Regents system from the state constitution, giving the Legislature more control over colleges and universities...
Question 2 on the ballot would enshrine the right in Nevada's constitution and remove existing language recognizing marriages only between a man and a woman. The amendment would also establish that religious organizations and clergy members have the right to refuse to perform a marriage...
A proposed constitutional amendment regarding the state Board of Pardons will be Question 3 on the ballot. The board, made up of the governor, state Supreme Court justices and the attorney general, would be required to meet at least four times a year. The amendment would also remove the governor's power to veto a decision by the majority of the board...
Question 4 on the ballot would enshrine an existing voters' bill of rights under state law to the Nevada Constitution...
A proposal that will be listed as Question 6 would amend the state's constitution to stipulate that electric utilities generate or acquire at least 50% of power from renewable sources to by 2030...

That's the night the lights went out in Vegas...................
Liberals have definitely infected Nevada with their disease. We were going to retire in Reno but may end up in St George, Utah.
Democrat destruction of state constitution. Whooda thunk??
All of them intended to bring leftists to the polls.
Now NH is solidly Rat.
Just like syphilis.

Do enviro extremists consider hydro electric to be renewable?
Just thinking that Nevada gets huge amounts of power from Hoover Dam.
NC VA going the same way. They leave their socialist hell holes only for them to make their new states look like the crap they left.
—that power goes largely to Commiefornia—
Really? I would hope Nevada could get their own power needs taken care of, even if a big amount of Hoover Dam electricity goes to California.
It would be weird optics, if in the future, Nevada struggles with brownouts and rolling blackouts due to not being able to generate all this “renewable” power, when they have an enormous power generation facility in their backyard. Just an observation.
Those will get all NOPES from me, but if the mail fraud isn’t stopped, that won’t matter.
It’s been happening locally, as well.
When we moved from Louisiana to Illinois in 1991 (I was transferred to Illinois) we settled in Dupage County, which was solidly Republican. We bought our home and at that time the village in which we lived was very conservative, very Republican. Then, about 15 years ago we started to see some Chicagoans move here, and in the last 10 years it turned into a flood; and they brought with them the same voting mindset and party affiliations they had in Chicago, and now our once dark red town is being corrupted by leftist nitwits. Democrats are a disease, as terrible and as deadly as cancer.
2016. Hillary supporters came to my Reno apartment 5 times looking for previous tenants. Those door knockers were from Calif.

What was the draw?
I ask, because I lived in an R county (except for the largest city)for 5 years. About year 3 or so, a wealthy trust fund kid started an alternative school. The school was part of a world-wide offshoot of Theosophy and at first, the new people trickling in were from other offshoot communities in NYS and CO.
Soon, the school was famous world wide because it was the cheapest of the cult schools and it was the only rural one. Locals were mainly thrilled because our little backwater was now in-demand real estate. Then, the newcomers were strong enough to vote their members onto the public school board, Town council and County Board.
Like your area, it took about 30 years, but these folks are good at incrementalism. We left this year. It is getting worse, including BLM signs & cult HS statements of support in the local paper (run by a prog publisher that owns most small town papers in the region).
From telling me not to worry, to whispering that they agreed with me when I warned people the newcomers were intent on a takeover, by the time we left, they were telling me: “You were right.”
But there is usually a magnet. You know it’s going down when the recognizable change agents arrive. They start newsletters, at first open to everyone, then limited. They join every local interest group and within a year are telling people who to vote for. The start ad hoc adult education programs that push every prog issue and invite people from all over the world to teach. They get elected or appointed to seemingly unimportant positions and use them as leverage to get other activists into leadership posts. They go after government grants assiduously and never forego the facilitator fees while making sure the winners are fellow travelers. They eye the County and school budgets with avarice and form ad hoc secret groups to plan ways to get their hands on that money.
Everyone should know these signs and be aware. Become active. It usually takes them 30 years to complete the process and by then, their children are town leaders with local roots.
“What was the draw?”
They wanted to get out of Chicago (they moved out west to our town, but continued to work in Chicago, becoming train commuters). Age old story: They fouled their own nest, then moved out, but continued to do what fouled their old nest in the first place. Democrats are insane.
“Question 1 on the ballot would remove the Board of Regents system from the state constitution, giving the Legislature more control over colleges and universities”
Nevada leg sucks but this sounds like a good idea anyway.
