In February, Nevada Republican voters are expected to be able to choose from two entirely different ballots for the 2024 presidential nomination.

On one -- for the caucus held by the Nevada Republican Party on Feb. 8 -- will be former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, businessman and commentator Vivek Ramaswamy, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and pastor and entrepreneur Ryan Binkley.

And on the other -- for the state-run primary on Feb. 6 -- will be former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and Vice President Mike Pence, along with some long shot candidates.

While Nevada voters can cast ballots in both the caucus and primary, the latter slate of hopefuls are competing for a symbolic victory. The 26 Nevada delegates that will help determine who wins the Republican nomination will be awarded only through the caucus, not the primary.


The Nevada Republican Party leadership's push to continue with the caucus has been a hotly contested topic over the past few months, with critics of the move claiming that the caucus -- which includes in-person gatherings where voters publicly disclose their preferred candidate in tidy groups, versus traditional voting -- was championed by allies of Trump, who already has a deep network of vocal supporters and organizational power across Nevada.

Others have dismissed the idea, contending that the caucus is a more transparent nominating process and that the former president has a strong hold on Nevada Republicans either way.

Earlier this summer, when it became apparent that Nevada was inching toward dueling Republican nominating contests, the state GOP tried to direct candidates to the caucus ballot, penalizing those who chose to participate in the primary by making them ineligible to receive delegates.

But to some Nevada Republicans' surprise, that didn't stop several major presidential candidates -- Haley, Scott and Pence -- from filing for the primary, effectively giving up on Nevada's delegates.
 
This is a first for me.

Wife asked if bulbs are burned out on two lights in bathroom. Flip switch off/ on - works fine.

Stop working yesterday. Replacing the switch took all of 10 minutes…

But I’ve never seen a switch go bad internally. 🤷
 
My house was built in 65. About 2 years ago I had several switches go bad in a row over about a years time. Probably 8 of them. Most of them were Leviton 3 way switches.
 
I'd take a swag and say if the switches are over a certain age they are probably well made and will last. No idea when we transitioned to cheap ass builder grade switches, but it was likely around the time my house was built, 1992.

My other house was built in 1982 and those switches are still going strong. That place was owner built by a guy that owned his own plumbing and electrical company, so maybe he used better quality shit:confused:

I had to replace a1936 vintage switch last year.
Started arcing inside.
I guess 90 years was a good run.
There's still several left.
They all have a very satisfying click when you flip them that new switches don't.
