Nevada Ballot Breakdown: Key Issues on Higher Education, Voting Reforms, and Constitutional Rights
The program "Growth and Grace" discussed key Nevada ballot questions with Attorney Berna Rhodes Ford. Question 1 asks if the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) should be removed from the Constitution, with arguments for and against legislative oversight. Question 3 proposes open primary elections, allowing all voters to rank candidates regardless of party affiliation. Question 4 addresses the abolition of slavery and involuntary servitude as criminal punishments. Question 6 concerns constitutional rights to abortion, crucial due to Roe v. Wade's overturning. Question 7 deals with voter ID requirements, debating between voter suppression concerns and election security. The program emphasized the importance of informed voting and understanding candidate positions.
