Heavy turnout continues in Nevada, outpacing 2012 by 16%

30,220 people had voted in Clark by 6 PM today. Was 26,000 on second day in 2012. - John Ralston Reports


Detailed numbers haven't been made available to the public yet, so I don't know the breakdown. Yesterday it was 49% - 33% in favor of Dems.

Also in a related note, Dems in northern Nevada are outpacing 2012, leading Reps now by 2,200 early votes, traditionally red red rural Rep territory.*

Another substantial win for Dems in Washoe on Day 2 of early voting. 900-vote advantage. With mail, they now have 2,200-vote lead. John Ralston Reports


* I cannot verify these numbers by detail, since Washoe County has not posted numbers tonight and they're already making mistakes, conveniently always to democrats' detriment.

Because of the Clinton ground game, the campaign knows which registered DEMS have voted and which have not. In '08 and '12, I was surprised when I campaigned for Pres in FL how we knew which doors to go knock on and which ones we didn't need to knock on.

My friends in FL are doing the same thing for HILL now. If I weren't an ex-pat, I'd be knocking on doors for HILL in Tallahassee right now.

in Nevada.

Especially I hope Nevada voters send Catherine Cortez Masto to the U.S. Senate.
