Early voter turnout heavy in Nevada

CARSON CITY (AP) _ A third of the way through a two-week window
for early voting, more than 72-thousand Nevadans have made it to
the polls _ with Democrats leading Republicans in total turnout in
counties where most of the state's voters live.

A breakdown of the totals from Clark, Washoe, Carson City and
Douglas counties, with 91 percent of all Nevada voters, shows the
early voters through about noon today included 31-thousand-853
Democrats and 30-thousand-488 Republicans. The rest of the voters
were nonpartisans or splinter-party members.

A breakdown shows about 63-thousand of the early voters were in
the state's biggest city, Las Vegas, with 45 percent registered as
Democrats and 41 percent as Republicans. For both parties, that's
slightly above their overall registration percentages for the area.

The surprise was in Washoe County, a strongly Republican area
where the midweek total of early voters was just over 45-hundred _
including 19-hundred-98 Democrats and 18-hundred-75 Republicans.

Kerry's Nevada campaign spokesman, Sean Smith, says the Washoe
vote is especially significant -- but Bush campaign spokeswoman
Tracy Schmitt says Kerry is doing poorly in the Las Vegas area.
