RENO, Nev. (AP) — The rapid turnover among election officials in Nevada continues, with the top election official in Nevada’s lone swing county abruptly announcing her resignation less than a month before early voting commences for the Feb. 6 presidential preference primary. Jamie Rodriguez said Tuesday she wanted to pursue opportunities away from elections and spend more time with family ahead of a crucial 2024 election cycle. Her last day will be March 15, though she will use accrued vacation time before then. Eleven of Nevada’s 17 counties have had turnover in top county election positions since the 2020 election, according to an Associated Press tally.
