Why is it when I go vote I never see the candidate that I want to choose?
‘None of the above’ can make difference in Nevada race
LAS VEGAS — A choice of “none of the above’’ remains a potential factor in the dead-heat Nevada Senate race for voters who don’t like Democrat Harry Reid or Republican Sharron Angle.
Voters in the Silver State had nine choices on the ballot yesterday — eight are candidates, including Reid and Angle.
The number of voters who choose “None of these candidates’’ was expected to be small, but in a close race those who boycott the ballot could make the difference.
Reid knows the risk: A dozen years ago he pulled off a 428-vote reelection victory over then-Republican Representative John Ensign, while “none’’ received 8,125 votes.
