Low turnout in Nevada and Florida shows that voters are unhappy with their choices, said Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul, who has yet to win a contest this year.
“There’s a lot of people not satisfied with any of the candidates out there,” the Texas congressman said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” “And that’s why in many ways we’re seeing a lower turnout right now.”
Fewer voters came out in Nevada and Florida than four years ago, when Mr. Paul attempted to challenge eventual nominee John McCain and this year’s front-runner Mitt Romney.
Mr. Paul said Republicans are wondering why they haven’t been offered someone else besides Mr. Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
“That’s what I’m trying to change,” Mr. Paul said on ABC.
The congressman said he plans to continue the race. He was campaigning in Minnesota on Saturday even as votes were tallied in Nevada.
“We have three or four caucus states that we believe our numbers are doing pretty good, so we have to just wait and see and continue to do exactly what we’re doing,” he said.
