Ballot Battleground: NevadaShow Notes
Primary Election Day 2026 is less than a week away and as Nevadans begin to vote both in person and by mail, they have questions.
This week on Ballot Battleground: Nevada, host Ben Margiott and News 4-Fox 11 morning show anchor Chris Murphy open up the mailbag again to answer your listener questions about the primary.
How do closed primaries work? Which contests will be decided before November? How much did Washoe County's new ballot devices cost? Which candidates oppose data centers? And does David Flippo still have a home in Las Vegas?
Ben and Chris answer all those questions and more so voters are well-informed and prepared as they walk into the voting booth in the coming days.
