RENO, Nev. (News 4 & Fox 11) — Nevada's first presidential preference primary in decades went smoothly, with low voter turnout making for no lines at most polling places.

As expected, President Joe Biden won the Democratic primary handily. But in a surprising turn of events, former ambassador Nikki Haley lost to 'None of these candidates' in the Republican contest.

On this week's episode of Ballot Battleground: Nevada, host Ben Margiott speaks with reporters Kim Burrows and Audrey Mayer about their experience covering the election on the ground, plus a conversation with Jon Ralston, the CEO of The Nevada Independent, about how the 'None of these candidates' option came to be and how voters have used it in the past.

Ballot Battleground: Nevada takes deep dives into the people, policies and debates shaping politics in our critical battleground state.
