For the first time since early voting began on October 16 in Nevada, Republicans yesterday lost ground in Clark County in turnout percentage. However, a small uptick in Washoe County means the GOP still has a 4 percent turnout edge statewide.

The Democrats now have a raw vote lead of nearly 21,000 in Clark County, while the Republicans have a lead of 3,000 votes in Washoe County.

As for third party and independent voters, 4,151 “other” and nonpartisan Clark County voters cast ballots Thursday, and more than 40,000 “other” and nonpartisan voters have been to the Clark County polls since early voting began. These are the swing votes that can and will make the difference.

Total Clark plus Washoe early vote totals including absentee ballots in Clark:

  • Democrats: 141,291 (33.5 percent)
  • Republicans: 123,988 (37.5 percent)

Today is the last day of early voting.
