There wasn't a cloud in the sky early Tuesday afternoon as voters drove around and around the busy parking lot at the Carson City Community Center, where people living in 14 of the city's 26 election precincts cast their ballots.
Justin Wass, 25, has been voting since he was old enough to register. The Carson City native said he had a government teacher who instilled the importance of voting while he attended high school.
"I love to come and vote. It's my chance to give back," Wass said. "If you don't vote, you can't whine about how things go."
Negative politics is something Wass said he can't stand. When one candidate says something bad about the other it's "one of the biggest turnoffs."
"Why would you want to vote for that person?" he asked.
Wass was interested in the two state smoking initiatives, Questions 4 and 5. He said he chose Question 5 because it's tougher and that he's concerned about smoking in public places because he's a "soon-to-be-father."
He works with young people at the local Boys & Girls Club, too. All of the adults there emphasize the importance of not smoking, but the task is more difficult when "all the adults" are doing it whenever they go on a field trip, he said.
