Nikki Haley's surprising loss to "none of these candidates" in the Nevada primary, where she was the only candidate who was still competing for the Republican nomination, was the result of a coordinated effort by Trump supporters to prevent Haley from claiming victory — even though the primary allocates no GOP delegates.
Trump caucus captains told CBS News that they encouraged their supporters to check the box for none of these candidates on the Nevada primary ballot. This was the first year that all registered voters received a primary ballot in the mail in the Silver State.
"I tell people if they want to vote for Trump, they have to go to the caucus and to vote none of the above," said Guadalupe Reyes, a Trump caucus captain and state Assembly candidate for Nevada District 41. "If they are a Haley candidate, I say go ahead. But if you want to vote for Trump, you have to go to the caucus."
