Nevada Political Establishment

NV uncontested races

219 races since 2000 where only one real candidate appeared on the general-election ballot. Source: NV Secretary of State Aurora.

Why this matters: An uncontested race is one where the politician faces no opponent. They win by default, often with no public scrutiny of their record. Tracks a structural accountability gap.
