For a fresh take on why people don't vote read my new satirical play, Donkey, Elephant and None of the Above. Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, Apple iTunes Books (performing arts), Kobo and Smashwords. #protest #boycott #campaign #nonvoter #democrats #republicans

What Evander Kane looked like after crushed by "Muffin" Reaves in second period Tuesday. #VegasBorn #GoKnightsGo

[Steve Kanigher @stkanigher]

Evander Kane threw so many empty haymakers Sunday night he qualified for a wind power permit. When it comes to fighting Ryan Reaves, Kane proved he ain't Abel. #VegasBorn #GoKnightsGo

Proof that Nevadans are fed up with #partisanship: Of Nevada's estimated 2.3 million adults only 42 percent -- barely four in ten -- bothered to vote for governor or U.S. Senator, based on the 971,313 and 971,498 votes cast in those respective races. #NVGOV #NVSEN

@RalstonReports @rgj @SteveSisolak @AdamLaxalt @SenDeanHeller @RepJackyRosen Jon: Pollster may be reliable but 4.4 margin of error is far less reliable than the 3 percent used by the big folks nationally. If I'm not mistaken, 4.4 is nearly 50 percent less reliable than a 3. But you may want to consult with a statistician on that.

In biggest upset of NY primary, Oscasio-Cortez over incumbent Crowley in House district 14 race, roughly 13 percent of active registered Democrats voted. While media focuses on upset, the under reported story is why so few people voted. Solution? Abolish political parties.

[Steve Kanigher @stkanigher]

U.S. immigration policy could have been settled long ago if not for political parties. Get rid of political parties = solving America's problems. We need independent policy makers, not partisan Democrats or Republicans, to address issues that are dividing this country.

[Steve Kanigher @stkanigher]

@RalstonReports @TheNVIndy Jon, I really think it would be a public service if you assigned your reporters to do a series on why people don't vote. It's one of the most under reported political topics in America, which is why I just published my first play, "Donkey, Elephant and None of the Above."

[Steve Kanigher @stkanigher]

Of the more than 2.3 million adults in Nevada only 329,372 voted in the primary. That means six of every seven Nevada adults didn't participate. Solution? Abolish political parties so voters feel closer to the candidates placed before them. #NVSEN #NVGOV #Democrats #Republicans

[Steve Kanigher @stkanigher]

Wondering why most Nevadans stayed away from the polls? Check out my new play, "Donkey, Elephant and None of the Above." It explores the wide gulf separating voters from the candidates they elect. Available on amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. #NVSEN #NVGOV 2/

[Steve Kanigher @stkanigher]

Nevada primary turnout was pathetic. But don't go by the 22.2 percent turnout among active registered voters. Real turnout was less than 14 percent among Nevada's 2.3 million adults. So only one in seven Nevada adults went to the polls. #NVSEN #NVGOV 1/

[Steve Kanigher @stkanigher]

@RalstonReports As an alternative to reporting why low turnout actually occurs -- the disconnect between voters and the candidates they elect -- you can simply read my new play, "Donkey, Elephant and None of the Above." Told from a nonvoter's perspective and set in a Las Vegas grocery store. 2/

[Steve Kanigher @stkanigher]

@RalstonReports As of 11:40 pm, statewide turnout reported at 22.2 percent but that includes only active registered voters. Totally misleading. Include all Nevadans eligible to vote and true turnout is roughly half that amount. Please assign one of your reporters to delve into that stat. 1/

As a season ticket holder, a big THANK YOU to entire #VGK organization for compiling the greatest season for an expansion franchise in modern American sports history. #GoldenKnights produced a lifetime of memories and set records that could stand forever. #VegasBorn #GoKnightsGo

[Steve Kanigher @stkanigher]

As a #VGK STH I send congrats to #allcaps and Ovechkin for Cup win. As I also attended the first Redskin Super Bowl win in '83, I have witnessed two of the greatest achievements in D.C. sports. Better have me in attendance if you want Nationals to win World Series. #VegasBorn

[Steve Kanigher @stkanigher]

@DougPolkPoker Bracelet inflation. Way, way, way too many bracelet events. I attended my first WSOP as on onlooker in the early 90s when there were 20 or so events. Sorry to say, when you issue too many bracelets it becomes a watered down honor. Like the Grammys.

[Steve Kanigher @stkanigher]

@SteveSebelius Thus my new play, "Donkey, Elephant and None of the Above." Told from a nonvoter's perspective in Vegas. Steve, as your former and now retired colleague, I'll let you in on a secret. Political parties should have been abolished decades ago. All candidates should be nonpartisan.

[Steve Kanigher @stkanigher]

What? Pat Sajak an #allcaps fan? I thought he was a loyal fan of the L.A. Kings. This is a good omen because we know what #VGK did to the Kings. Sajak=Wheel of Misfortune. #GoKnightsGo #nocaps #GoldenKnights #VegasBorn #WashingtonCapitals

Raise your hand if you thought last September that #VGK would still be playing hockey in June. #GoKnightsGo #GoldenKnights #nocaps #VegasBorn

[Steve Kanigher @stkanigher]

#VGK penalty kill unit cannot afford to allow #allcaps Ovechkin to camp out around the net unguarded, as occurred Wednesday. That's like inviting the Ocean's 11 gang to party inside a casino safe. #GoKnightsGo #GoldenKnights #VegasBorn #nocaps #WashingtonCapitals
