per Tuck Chodd

"To showcase diversity". And here I though it was to move the Paul-heavy states to the nosebleed seats.

HEY

win/win!

1. He said that on the NBC Nightly News too.

2. I'd also wager because there is a large LDS population there.

They make up about 27% of the population there.

3. They can't even vote for Romney in the general election!

eom

4. Large Pacific Islander population in Nevada, a swing state

Hawaiians jokingly refer to it as "the ninth island." A lot of Polynesians/Micronesians here. Maybe that has something to do with it? Or they just really like Samoa?

6. LDS influence

Many Samoans, even those that don't live in Samoa are members of the LDS church...so there is no doubt where their loyalty lies!

7. No. It's Las Vegas. Hawaiians love to gamble.

I have it on good authority...

5. They segregate the dark-skinned foreigners to one small area for "diversity"?!?!?
