Questions as to whether Monday’s increase in Republican turnout was a blip or a trend were answered Tuesday as GOP voters continued to show up at the Nevada early voting polls in higher number than Democrats. The Republicans have now increased their turnout lead in Clark and Washoe County to nearly 4 percent.

Total Clark County early voting percentages (including mail-in ballots) relative to registration:

• Democrats: 28.0 percent
• Republicans: 32.3 percent

• Democrats: 113,193 (26.8 percent)
• Republicans: 100,702 (30.4 percent)
