Nevada currently has a closed-primary system. This means that only voters who are registered with a specific political party can vote in that party's primary election. This November, Nevada voters will get to choose if they want to move forward with Ranked-choice voting (RCV) . This is a voting system where voters rank candidates by preference instead of choosing just one. If no candidate receives a majority of the first-choice votes, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated, and votes for that candidate are redistributed to voters' next choices. This process repeats until a candidate wins with more than 50% of the vote.

NFL Superstar wide-receiver Tryeek Hill was pulled over and detained by Miami-Dade Police shortly before his opening season football game on Sunday. Several videos of the incident, including police body-cam footage detail the events that took place following the traffic stop. The officers involved are on paid-suspension pending an investigation. All major parties involved, including the NFL, Police, Police Unions, etc have issued statements. Hill’s agent says the restraining officer should be released from his job. Vegas Verdict is asking that question also: Should the restraining officer be fired?

Renters in our state will tell you affordable apartments are scarce, and because of inflation many residents are being priced out. The Biden administration expressed interest in a federal form of rent control, capping annual rent-increases at 5-percent. Would that type of measure stabilize our market, and would it protect low and fixed-income families? What about the lack of inventory in Southern Nevada? Would a rent-control mandate discourage developers from building new properties? Our Vegas Verdict panel will debate pros and cons.
