Bill would make it easier to vote in Nevada

The ability of the people to elect their representatives is the foundation of our republic. Sadly, the United States trails most developed countries in voter turnout. Only 56 percent of the voting-age population cast a ballot in the 2016 general election. We should do better.

Assembly Bill 345 would establish same-day registration. It would also provide voters the chance to correct registration records on the spot. This would increase the accuracy of voter rolls and reduce costs associated with administering provisional ballots. Same-day registration would help frequent movers, rural voters and anyone who has difficulty getting to the polls.

I urge our legislators to vote yes on AB345.

Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. We are all one people.

LETTER: Is there another Joe Biden out there?

Both the front-runner presidential candidates should step aside and give us some choices who are younger and have fresh ideas to get us out of the $35 trillion debt.

LETTER: Deciphering progressive jargon

I noticed recently that euphemisms are commonly used by progressives in order to make the agenda they support seem less harsh or unpleasant.
