The first – and only – state where women make up a majority of lawmakers, Nevada’s Democrat-led legislature passed bills to expand mail-in voting and create a public option for healthcare, while Republican-led legislatures across the country are restricting access to voting and healthcare.

#Nevada #MSNBC #VotingRights
Congrats on moving your State forward in Healthcare Public Option!
Good on ya Nevada!!!! VIVA LAS VEGAS!!! 🙂
Keep fighting for the people sister!! Your creation energy is needed right now vs the male who destroyers 🙏
Legislating to improve access to voting and health care. How novel!
Good reporting job!
Excellent work, Nevada. VEGAS, BABY!!!!
A glimmer of hope in a dark turbulent ocean of disinformation and lies.
A state that is demonstrating sanity. I love that 50+% are women.
I’ll take any good news. Like the end of The Shawshank Redemption. “ Hope is a good thing.”
Please send Nicole and Jason next door to Arizona, we could use some
common sense over here.
AZ scares me. Outerspace Ninjas auditing……now thats freaky
Add Arkansas as well!
If it were not for the more then a decade log Republican attack to chip-away and destroy the Affordable Care Act, the Public Option would already be a reality everywhere in the country.
Far left Democrats refusing to consider a public option in order to ONLY support a complete universal health care plan doesn’t help.
@Skippy Skipperson Ha ha ha more like centrist dems & all the repubs refusing to allow anything but the profit motive to prevail here in the U.S. dispite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
So in months, Nevada did what Trump promised for years and didn’t even come close to doing.
Well done Nevada…that smacks of governance.
Careful there, that’s a slippery slope that could lead to legislators actually legislating.
@GusCraft460 almost like entering the Matrix…but in reverse…
But – can mail in voting be trusted while dejoy still heads the post office?? He needs to be ousted asap before the next elections.
True
De Joy should go to de jail.
Was born in Nevada . Sounds like they got it goin on .
Thank God for 1 positive News Report pertaining to Voter Rights in the USA.
I’ll take any good news. Like the end of The Shawshank Redemption. “ Hope is a good thing.”
Perhaps the efforts to increase women in state politics should use Nevada as both an example and an incentive .
It’s been long said that the best known way to reduce poverty is the emancipation of women. Freedom cannot be given, only taken, women emancipate yourself the need is urgent.
Women are always the strong people there is a lot to deal with
The ACA saved my life. I wish every American had this insurance.
Its good news hope I wish other states would follow
We absolutely need more women and young people in politics
Weird how this can be done in Nevada when other states are oppressing their constituents. It’s almost as if we should have a national voting rights act.
*Everyone in America should be represented the way we have been in Nevada for the last few years.*
*Thank you from a grateful Las Vegan!*
