The truth about Nevada when voting in a general election for President of the United States:

Each major political party shall, at the state convention of the major political party held in that year, select from the qualified electors who are legally registered members of the major political party a nominee to the position of presidential elector and an alternate to the nominee for presidential elector. Each minor political party shall choose from the qualified electors who are legally registered members of the minor political party a nominee to the position of presidential elector and an alternate to the nominee for presidential elector.

A nominee for presidential elector or an alternate may not serve as a presidential elector unless the nominee for presidential elector or the alternate signs a pledge in substantially the following form: If selected for the position of presidential elector, I agree to serve as such and to vote only for the nominees for President and Vice President of the political party or the independent candidates who received the highest number of votes in this State at the general election.

The Secretary of State shall preside at the meeting of presidential electors held pursuant to 3 U.S.C. § 7. If a nominee for presidential elector is not present to vote at the meeting, the position of presidential elector to be filled by that nominee for presidential elector is vacant and the vacancy must be filled as follows: (a) If the alternate is present at the meeting, the Secretary of State shall appoint the alternate to the position of presidential elector; (b) If the alternate is not present at the meeting, the Secretary of State shall appoint to the position of presidential elector a person chosen by lot from among the alternates present at the meeting, if any; (c) If no alternates are present at the meeting, the Secretary of State shall appoint to the position of presidential elector a person who is: (1) A qualified elector; (2) Present at the meeting; and (3) Chosen through nomination by and plurality vote of presidential electors who are present at the meeting; and (d) If votes cast pursuant to subparagraph (3) of paragraph (c) result in a tie, the Secretary of State shall appoint to the position of presidential elector a person who is chosen by lot from those persons who tied for the most votes.

If all the positions of presidential elector are vacant and no alternates are present at the meeting, the Secretary of State shall appoint from the qualified electors one person to the position of presidential elector, and the remaining positions must be filled pursuant to paragraphs (c) and (d) of subsection 2.

A person appointed to the position of presidential elector pursuant to this section may not serve in that position unless the person signs a pledge in substantially the following form: I agree to serve as a presidential elector and to vote only for the nominees for President and Vice President of the party or the independent candidates who received the highest number of votes in this State at the general election. If a person appointed to a position of presidential elector pursuant to this section does not sign the pledge described in subsection 5, that position of presidential elector is vacant and must be filled pursuant to this section.

The Secretary of State shall provide to each presidential elector a ballot for the office of President and a ballot for the office of Vice President. The presidential elector shall mark the applicable ballot provided by the Secretary of State for the person who received the highest number of votes at the general election for the office of President and the person who received the highest number of votes at the general election for the office of Vice President. The presidential elector shall sign and legibly print his or her name on the ballots and present the ballots to the Secretary of State. After all presidential electors have presented their ballots to the Secretary of State, the Secretary of State shall examine each ballot. If a presidential elector: (a) presents both ballots and the ballots are marked with votes for the person who received the highest number of votes at the general election for the office of President and the person who received the highest number of votes at the general election for the office of Vice President, respectively, the Secretary of State shall accept both ballots; (b) Does not present both ballots, presents an unmarked ballot or presents a ballot marked with a vote that does not conform with the pledge: (1) The Secretary of State shall refuse to accept either ballot of the presidential elector; and (2) The Secretary of State shall deem the presidential elector’s position vacant. The vacancy must be filled pursuant to state law. The person appointed to fill the vacancy in the position of presidential elector, after signing the pledge, shall mark both ballots and present both ballots to the Secretary of State pursuant to this section.

This other vote known as the electoral vote takes place on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December in each of the fifty (50) states.  The time of day when the electors gather to conduct this vote may vary from state to state, but the electoral vote happens on the same day in every state, the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December.  Another interesting point to mention: this electoral vote is weeks after we the people have already cast a so-called vote.

What happens to these electoral votes?  Each state has a certain number of electoral votes associated with their state.  There are a total of five-hundred and thirty-eight (538) electoral votes to be exact, and only a total of two-hundred and seventy (270) of these electoral votes are required to determine the person who will become President of the United States.

Knowing the number of electors associated with each of the States, it is mathematically possible to have only eleven (11) states determine who will become the President of the United States.

The following eleven states add up to the two-hundred and seventy (270) electoral votes needed to determine who becomes President of the United States:

California (55 electoral votes)
Texas (38 electoral votes)
New York (29 electoral votes)
Florida (29 electoral votes)
Illinois (20 electoral votes)
Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes)
Ohio (18 electoral votes)
Georgia (16 electoral votes)
Michigan (16 electoral votes)
North Carolina (15 electoral votes)
New Jersey (14 electoral votes)

This next fact may disappoint those of you who reside and vote in Nevada.

If these eleven (11) states end up having their electoral votes casted for the same candidate, the remaining thirty-nine (39) states would not matter at all.  So… that vote you casted in the general election in November as a citizen… what was the purpose of your vote?  The answer: NOTHING (when these eleven states have an electoral outcome as such) !!!

The time is NOW to understand that our country does not have a voting process in place whereby every citizen who wants to cast a vote is able to cast a vote and to then have his or her vote be accurately counted towards choosing the person who will become the next President of the United States.
