The state’s unusual primary selection process this week secured a thorough victory for Mr. Trump, the decisive front-runner. Difficulties in holding the caucuses, however, may point to future trouble for Republicans
For a foregone conclusion, the Nevada Republican presidential selection process this week offered unexpected flourishes of drama.
For some Republicans, though, the greatest drama of all was saved for the more pedestrian question of where, exactly, they should come to place their vote on Thursday. He came to vote for Mr. Trump, like most of the state’s Republicans on Thursday. “I think everybody in this line is for Trump,” Mr. McDaniels said, standing in a queue that snaked past Donald Trump lawn signs. A small number of the first votes reported in Nevada showed greater than 95 per cent support for Mr. Trump.
At Rex Bell Elementary, caucus voting was open from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on a weeknight. But Nevada is what Amy Tarkanian, a former chair of the state Republicans, calls a 24-hour economy, with farmers in rural areas and casino workers in the cities. “You’re asking everyone to set aside a two-hour time frame and that’s your only option?” she said. “That’s going to disenfranchise the Republican voters immensely.
“Nothing they’re doing is illegal. But it sure crossed the paths of ethical, as far as I’m concerned.” Mr. Higbee also received VIP tickets to an event for Mr. Trump in Las Vegas in late January. When he arrived, however, he was told by a person at the entrance, “I got strict orders not to let you in.”
