Nevada's rural voters hold key to election (election theft predicted)
I predict the Nevada elections will be stolen gain by 51%.

November 1, 2006

Republican Assemblyman John Carpenter of Elko is proud of the influence his northeast Nevada town wields in state politics.

"If it wasn't for Elko, President Bush would have never won Nevada in '04," Carpenter said. "If he hadn't taken Nevada, he might have not won the election.

"Bush lost Clark County by 26,000 votes and he about broke even in Reno and that area," said Carpenter, Elko County's assemblyman since 1987. "But then he got about a 45,000-vote plurality in the rest of the rurals, and that carried it.

"He needed Nevada to put him over the top in the Electoral College," Carpenter said.

Elko and rural Nevada has found new pride as a power player in Nevada politics. With voter registration numbers about even statewide between Republicans and Democrats, largely Republican rural Nevada has become the fulcrum, with the power to tilt the election to the candidate who wins not only in Elko, but in towns like Battle Mountain, Pioche and Pahrump.
