Clark County’s election results offer encouraging bright spots: seven of nine charter amendment results align with CCRP recommendations, led by strong support for annual county reporting (87.27%), council term limits (82.82%), and budget transparency (73.49%). Voters also backed tax safeguards and independent performance audits. All seven aligned amendments received approval from a majority of everyone who returned a ballot, even accounting for undervotes. While these results remain unofficial, they show broad support for greater accountability, transparency, and fiscal oversight.

‍Election Aftermath, Some Good News

Rob breaks down the election results and shows how there was some good news, mainly the Charter Review amendments that were approved.  Also, the County Manager attempted to pass big raises for top managers and deputies but it was pulled at the last minute.  The raises were planned for Election Day, when most people were distracted, but were postponed because of the attention to the move and because a couple of Councilors were absent, making the approval unlikely.

"Finally, we're happy that the State Supreme Court will have at least one independent voice. That's a start.

"The rest of the country may have seen a 'blue wave.' In Washington, it was a blue trickle."
