WASHINGTON (AP) — The top vote-getter in Tuesday’s Republican presidential primary in Nevada wasn’t former U.N.
Instead, Nevada voters mounted a ballot-box protest and gave the most votes to “None of these candidates,” a ballot option required by state law.
At the time the race was called, “None of these candidates” led with about 60% of the vote.
Initial returns showed “None of these candidates” leading in seven counties that Trump carried in his 2016 Nevada caucus win.
The Nevada Republican Party opted to hold a presidential caucus Thursday to award delegates and has essentially disavowed the primary.
