Euros really don't understand how big America is. This isn't an outlier--there are many, many places where driving 7 hours doesn't get you outside of 1 state. Nevada isn't even congested, that's mostly straight highway.I'm not sure if I knew this before, but it's mind boggling he drove SEVEN hours ONE WAY to get to Winnemucca. But maybe that's because I live in Europe and if I were to drive 7h one way, I'd leave my country, drive through two more and end up in a third one.
It also reinforces how shitty Russ is to complain that he can't get 5 locals to astroturf a brothel petition. He complains that it's hard to drive in to Winnemucca to campaign, and it is, because he is not local at all. He wants to radically alter the nature of a town he doesn't live in, and thinks he should be able to without any connection to the community.
It would be like you complaining that it's hard to get a political initiative going three countries over; humans have no shared community, roots, or interests when separated by that kind of distance.
(It's a little odd that Nevada lets him launch a statewide petition on his own, instead of requiring a similar committee. But the higher requirements for statewide acceptance act as the main barrier for that situation.)
