election

In light of recent political events, which need no commentary here, two rival high schools engaged in an equally important contest that set the standard for gracious rivalry to show this embattled country how it is done on the day after the election.

CARSON CITY – With voters approving the legalization of recreational marijuana on ballot question 2 in Tuesday night's election, the Nevada ...

The Nevada Department of Transportation is reminding political candidates and property owners that all political signs posted near state roads need to be removed by Dec. 8.

There is always something to look forward to after any Election: no more Election commercials. Grab your cowboy boots and head to Carson Lanes for some line dancing with DJ Cowboy Bobby. The Shipley’s head up the jazz jam at Living the Good Life and you never know who will sit in with them. Trivia is on the menu at Westside Pour House: the weekly Geeks Who Drink pub quiz is tonight. The Senators versus Tigers rivalry continues as the faculty of the two high schools compete in a friendly game of basketball.

Carson Now will have live election results as they become available after the polls close at 7 p.m. They will be updated throughout the evening.

Carson City Mayor (nonpartisan)

Red, blue, left, right: today is Election Day. I would be remiss if I didn’t urge you to do your civic duty.All Carson City voters can choose between the Community Center or the Courthouse any time before 7 p.m. If you need to get away from it all, Muscle Powered leads a walk along the Linear Ditch Trail this afternoon. Comma Coffee welcomes the Mile High Jazz Band: Election Day Jazz with vocalist Jakki Ford is the perfect way to spend a Tuesday night.

TUESDAY:


This event may not be as exciting as Major League Baseball’s Chicago Cubs triumph over the Cleveland Indians, ending a 108 year title drought, but anyone who ever attended Carson High School or Douglas High School knows that its rivalry has lasted equally as long.

It's now crystal clear our nation's very future hinges upon this election! Neither candidate is highly respected. But Clinton would expand a corrupt governing elite while Trump will blow it up! We can continue as serfs of the corrupt establishment or restore power to the people.

Carver YES, Crowell NO.
Shirk YES, Barrette NO.
White YES, Bonkowski NO.

Please watch the video of the local candidates forum hosted by the Carson City Chamber of Commerce as you read my comments. I did not transcribe the Chamber’s 5-6 questions.

Disagreement is part of human nature, especially in any society that values people as unique individuals.

Geoff was reminded of that recently when he and his sainted wife Jenna watched a reenactment of the Jefferson-Adams debates. Bill Barker and Steven Holloway, two scholars from the Colonial Williamsburg living history museum, played Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, respectively.

The event will begin at 6pm but due to the possibility of the election going very late, we do not have an official end time.

A little good humor on Nevada's 152nd birthday.

Did you know that Nevada became the 36th state admitted to the Union entirely by telegraph?

The corrupt Clinton criminals are repeating this strategy of divide and conquer again in this election and every voter should understand that any Republican vote for third parties helps insure victory for the lollipop guild Hillary who is as intelligent, and honest, as she is tall. The Clinton's crime family rose to power using the divide and conquer assistance of Ross Perot. The Clinton's can win again with only a minority of votes because many voters split the electorate three ways.

As October marches along we find ourselves nearing election day. Head to the first floor of the courthouse to earn your 'I Voted' sticker now; early voting continues until Nov. 4. Another way to make your voice heard today is by attending the Arts Town Hall sponsored by the Nevada Arts Association. They are looking for the ways that arts and culture can be improved in the Carson City area, among other things. While the mornings can be chilly, a walk with Muscle Powered along the Freeway Multi-use Path will get your blood pumping.

Saturday begins the first day of early voting in Nevada. In Carson City, early voting is available for two weeks prior to Election Day at the County Courthouse, 885 East Musser Street (first floor). For Early Voting schedule please refer to your Sample Ballot or to the schedule below:

The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists indicates the doomsday clock is only three minutes left before nuclear war. There has never been a more dangerous time of nuclear confrontation than today. The administration has pursued the Obama/Hillary/Kerry policy of War Through Weakness rather than the Reagan Peace Through Strength policy that won the cold war. The question for a Hillary voter is; Will Mrs. Clinton sell the rest of our uranium just to earn another big payday for Bill from our enemies?

Hundreds of children, parents, business and community leaders will join the Nevada Afterschool Network today, Thursday, for a Lights On Afterschool rally at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Nevada in Carson City.

Since the rise of the Clinton and Obama Regimes, the Constitution has been shredded by the office of the President. The Congress and the Supreme Court neither has the will nor the majorities needed to reign in the unconstitutional acts of the socialists who are subjugating our constitution and our nation. Foreign interests and money have flooded into our nation usurping the power of the people to rule their own nation.

The Carson City Republican Party will hold its monthly meeting on Thursday, October 27th at the Silver State Charter School on Mallory Way from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Come and meet some of your local candidates for public office prior to election day on November 8th.

The question for a Hillary voter is; Have you learned nothing from eight years of Obamanation socialism and how can another four years of the same failed socialist squandering of taxpayer money ever change anything? Does anyone really believe that socialism will work if we squander more tens of trillions of taxpayer money? In 3700 years of recorded history socialist ideologies have been repeatedly tried and always resulted in the destruction of a nation followed by mass murder from tyrannical dictators. Socialism is slavery.

Dear goodness, autumn is beautiful around here. The leaves changing, the snow dusting our mountains, and the air is crisp. Keep a jacket handy, and enjoy a jaunt up Voltaire Canyon. Help celebrate community services as new names get added to the memorial outside the Marv Teixeira Pavilion. The League of Women Voters and Sierra Nevada Forums are almost done with this election, but not before they bring you a discussion about four of our ballot questions: be at the BAC Performance Hall by 6pm to see what they have to say.

TUESDAY:

Halloween is two weeks away, the Nevada Day Parade a few days before, and the 2016 election a few days after. Learn more about our local races during the Chamber of Commerce Candidate Forum today at noon. It will be streaming live right here on CarsonNow.org. Kids will enjoy the Makerspace at the Carson City Library where they can get their hands on some fun, yet educational, activities.

Carson City Ward 1 Supervisor Karen Abowd invites the community to the monthly walkabout, Friday, Oct. 21 at Mills Park. This is an opportunity for citizens to take their ideas and concerns to her for discussion and possible action moving forward.

Abowd hs hosted these events since her first election, as a means for better governance. To participate, meet on the steps of Carson City Community Center at noon. Feel free to take a sack lunch.

Partnership Carson City advises the community on issues of health and well-being for youth and families. In this year’s election, Nevada voters will consider an initiative that would legalize marijuana. That initiative is known as Question 2. The Steering Committee of Partnership Carson City urges all voters to review the details of this proposal and consider the immediate and long-term impacts it may have on our community before making this important choice.

A recent left wing CNN poll indicates that Trump is fifteen points above Hillary on the issue of trust. Some feminist organizations are generating the old divide and conquer smear campaigns to argue that the laws broken by the Clinton crime family should be ignored because Trump's politically incorrect genitals are not to be trusted. This argument makes about as much sense as suggesting that men and women need different forums such as 'women to women' or 'man to man'. This is the disreputable strategy of divide and conquer to pretend that men and women share nothing in common.
