BREAKING; NV-GOV: Laxalt accused of rape in 1996

[Koharu]

Is there enough time for someone to get on the list for a write-in campaign? I know there's not enough time for it to be effective, but I could see someone wanting to put themselves forward even though it wouldn't be very effective.

Laxalt Accused of Rape

His support among Republicans has just improved.

[Perlen vor den Schweinen]

Governor Sisolak. Confirmed!

[IceSpear]

Sisolak was already going to win. This won't make a difference. 90%+ of Republicans will still happily vote for Laxalt (see sig.)

[Xing]

Maybe this will sway 1-2% of undecided voters/independents toward Sisolak if it sticks, but it's not going to change much. Likely D -> Likely D. Watch Republicans try to make the "innocent until proven guilty" argument here.

[Terry the Fat Shark]

The sources reporting this aren't very.....credible so we should probably wait and see on this one...

[Crumpets]

If this hurts his support from Republicans at all, it will be because they now see him as being too close to Bill Clinton.

On the other hand it brings him closer to dear leader as well. Oh, the struggle!

David Pakman has spoken to the victim and reports more on it here he claims its very credible

Also all the people saying it wont make a difference yes while repubs will still overwhelming break for Laxalt independents are likely to break overwhelmingly for sisolak if these stories are credible

[Canis]

Also Laxalts campaign manager was just allegedly assaulted by a democratic operative

[Sestak]

Here we go again...

[DrScholl]

That's ok, the Senate can approve him anyway--Oh, wait. This is an election, so Republican politicians can't push him through as Governor. It's up to the voters.

Like I said, not the best sources as of now until someone bigger breaks it I guess nobody will make a big deal out of it

[Mr. Smith]

Nothing changes. Moore didn't lose because of the allegations, he lost because he decided he could just high-tail it to Pennsylvania, come back 1 day before and ride sassy to the polls, all while Jones actually campaigned.

Laxalt is not that arrogant.

Laxalt is not that arrogant.

Nevada is also not Alabama. It is less polarized than Alabama and far, far more Democratic.

I do think that Laxalt would lose anyway given that he's doing worse than Dean Heller in the polls, and you know how I feel about Dean Heller's chances as it is.

The vast majority of "independents" are just partisan hacks in denial. 43% of "independents" in Alabama voted for the theocratic pedophile, lol.

Thats true but the ones who are elastic determine the results of the vast majority of elections

Congratulations, Governor Sisolak.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Moving this from all the way from Strong Lean R to Likely D. Stop comparing Nevada to Alabama, there is a big difference between an R+14 state and a state that actually has a democratic pvi of D+1 lmao.

[NewYorkExpress]

I really don't care if the source is credible. Laxalt needs to do the right thing and suspend his campaign.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

October surprise HASTA LA VISTA!

The difference between Alabama and Nevada is that this race never was "Lean R", lol. It was and remains Likely D.

How much do you want to bet that if this gains the slightest bit of traction, it will be used to explain away Gov. Sisolak and Sen. Rosen. "They ONLY won because Laxalt is a rapist, otherwise he and Heller would've had it in the bag! NV is still lean R in 2020 imo tbh imho!"

Of course, just like the *only* reason that Would-be Senator Heck lost is because he didn't fully embrace Trump.
