‘New Nevada’: Republicans seek to form another state by ousting Las Vegas to stop ‘urban people’

Fear over the political choices made by "urban people" is driving efforts to slip Nevada into two states to dilute the power of voters in Las Vegas.



"Launched in January, 2019, the New Nevada State Movement has spent the last two years working to bring together those who would like to see Clark County severed from the rest of the state, but with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March of last year, the group's momentum was slowed. That did not stop the New Nevada State Movement from moving forward, however, and now that the pandemic has eased and restrictions are no longer so stringent, the group is ready to get back into high gear, with its very first in-person meeting set for tomorrow, Thursday, July 8," the Pahrump Valley Times reports.

The meeting is taking place at the Nye County Republican Central Committee Headquarters. Donald Trump won the county by 40% points.
