Nevada Delegate Gets His State Capital Wrong While Voting Trump At RNC
ByKatherine Krueger
Published July 19, 2016, 8:25 PM EDT
The Nevada Republican Party chair proudly proclaimed his state pride by misidentifying its capital city in front of thousands of attendees while casting the state's votes for the GOP nominee at the convention.
"We're very proud of our nation," Michael McDonald said. "From the great shores of Lake Tahoe to the most entertaining capital city, Las Vegas, Nevada, this time, what's said in Las Vegas will not stay in Las Vegas!"
He then declared the state was casting 16 votes for Donald Trump.

But really, Las Vegas might as well be. Carson City is dead.
