Performing \u201cat least 24 hours of volunteer work on behalf of the NVGOP over the past 12 months\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThis isn\u2019t just absurd; it\u2019s obscene.
\u00a0
It immediately excludes\u00a0ANY<\/u>\u00a0Republican voter who moved to Nevada after 2018, even if they\u2019ve been a Republican voter for over 50 years in their former state.
\u00a0
You know who else that disqualifies?\u00a0 John Lee.
\u00a0
Lee left the Democrat Party plantation in 2021, re-registered with the GOP, and ran for governor as a Republican candidate in 2022. \u00a0There\u2019s also a good chance he\u2019ll be the GOP\u2019s nominee next year for Nevada\u2019s 4th<\/sup>\u00a0congressional district against Democrat incumbent Steve Horsford.
\u00a0
At best, Lee might be able to meet three of the requirements; probably only one.
\u00a0
Oh, and I\u2019m banned as well.
\u00a0
Despite being a former Clark County GOP chairman, a former Nevada GOP executive director, and a former Republican Liberty Caucus national chairman, I\u2019m ineligible because Resolution #4 also prohibits anyone \u201cwho has made a public statement of support or who has endorsed a non-Republican candidate in a contested election where a Republican candidate was running.\u201d
\u00a0
So much for free speech.
\u00a0
Sorry, but sometimes there are bad Republican candidates on the ballot\u00a0(see: Sigal Chattah).\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>Often, they\u2019re RINOs (Republicans in Name Only).\u00a0 Real RINOs.\u00a0
\u00a0
In those cases I\u2019ve supported a number of principled Libertarian and Independent American candidates over the GOP nominee.\u00a0 And I\u2019m not alone.
\u00a0
Oh, and what if a Republican has made a \u201cpublic statement of support\u201d for a non-Republican candidate in a non-partisan race, such as school board or judicial races?\u00a0 Are they DQ\u2019ed?
\u00a0
And does a donation to a non-Republican candidate constitute a \u201cpublic statement of support\u201d \u2013 even if they also gave money to the GOP candidate – since their donation is publicly disclosed?
\u00a0
The Nevada GOP could screw up a two-car funeral.\u00a0 I can only imagine the PR disaster that awaits it on February 8 if members of the Central Committee don\u2019t kill this dumbass idea at it meeting on September 23rd<\/sup>.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS<\/strong>
\u00a0
\u201cIt\u2019s not true that independent schools have \u2018no accountability.\u2019 They are accountable to parents, which is better than being \u2018accountable\u2019 to sleepy government bureaucrats.\u201d \u2013\u00a0Columnist John Stossel<\/em><\/strong>
