Washoe less than Clark, which is very blue.

Not sure where you get your info…

If CCM wins, it will be because of Washoe and Clark counties.

which means it kind of underestimate CCM as mail ballots favors democrats. I would say that's the floor for CCM with a lot of room to grow for CCM if she keeps the 2:1 margin that she's been getting.

It will be close, but not as close as the chart number indicates.

I'm not too crazy about Ralston for that reason. He seems to have a mish-mash of stuff....

...you might want to just completely ignore all the prognosticators and sit this one out till it's called, because Ralston is the foremost expert on this subject. If you can't bring yourself to trust him, there is no one else you can trust either.

PS - CCM will win. I haven't had a doubt about this since late Election Day (or maybe early the next day) when they reported how many mail-in ballots were left to count vs Laxalt's lead at the time.

People are complaining that the graphic it isn't reflective of mail voters. (I cannot access the site that the graphic comes from because my computer says it isn't safe and won't allow it) I prefer Wasserman because even when Wasserman's wrong, he's transparent.

ETA: Looks like Ralston fixed the link and now it goes to another site. Will check it out....

...he's just saying that it's a reasonable analysis and worth looking at.

As you point out, the mail-in votes (that are the predominant ones outstanding) break in favor of the Democrats at a higher clip than the overall vote, which means that the final total should be even more in CCM's favor than this analysis. Again, it's not a prediction he is endorsing, just saying that it's worth looking at.

Laxalt: 468,437-1,642 = 466,778
CCM: 467,575
CCM - Laxalt = 797

CCM and Laxalt's numbers are from the Nevada SOS
