Nevada Policy

President: John Tsarpalas or Director of Research, Geoff Lawrence

Our mission is to effectively promote
ideas that encourage free market
solutions, protect individual autonomy
and eliminate unnecessary governmental
restrictions. Nevada Policy President John Tsarpalas explains what happens when a voter chooses to
rank just two candidates.
“Let’s say the voter’s top choice finishes last in the first round. That candidate is
eliminated, and the voter’s second choice becomes his first for the next round,

Tsarpalas said.
“But if that candidate also finishes last, the voter has an exhausted
ballot. Because he has no third candidate, his ballot is put aside.
“That voter now has no say in who wins,
” he added.
That’s why we’re working to make sure ALL Nevadans have a say.
