GOTV, VEGAS STYLE
From the polls to the poles: At least two Las Vegas strip clubs are encouraging voter turnout this election.
Little Darlings is displaying a sign advertising free entry with an "I Voted" sticker. In the meantime, Crazy Horse 3 is hosting "Dances for Democracy." Guests who present the same sticker will get one free lap dance from noon until 8 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 5. They will also host an election viewing party, and Nevadans get in free.
POLLING PLACE DOS AND DON'TS
DO
- Try to vote early or be prepared to stand in line. Polls close at 7 p.m., but anyone in line at that time will be allowed to vote.
- Food and drinks are allowed while in line but may be prohibited inside specific polling sites.
- Bring your sample ballot, just make sure to take it with you.
- Post your “I Voted” sticker, but not your ballot.
- Expect the first batch of results to be released after the last person in Nevada has voted.
DON'T
Seriously, some of these are misdemeanors under Nevada Revised Statutes.
- Talk about candidates, political parties or ballot measures.
- Wear a shirt, hat or button in favor or opposition to any candidate, political party or ballot question.
- Take and post a picture of your ballot after you have voted. (This is considered a Class E felony punishable by up to four years in prison and a $5,000 fine.)
According to NRS, these activities are considered electioneering, which is not allowed within 100 feet of the nearest active voter. It’s defined as campaigning for or against a candidate, ballot question or political party by:
- Posting signs relating to the support of or opposition to a candidate, ballot question or political party;
- Distributing literature relating to the support of or opposition to a candidate, ballot question or political party;
- Using loudspeakers to broadcast information relating to the support of or opposition to a candidate, ballot question or political party;
- Buying, selling, wearing or displaying any badge, button or other insigne which expressly refers to any political party or a candidate or ballot question to be voted upon at that election; or
- Soliciting signatures to any kind of petition.
