A massive spike in voter registrations has placed the Las Vegas area on a pace to lead the nation in the percentage of new voters and has resulted in Democratic gains that could affect the general election in Nevada, a key battleground state.

Looks like we really need to win by a landslide or the next four years will have us republicans sounding like democrats
After Bush's poor showing in the first debate, I think the Dems smell blood.
Voter registration is up all over the county .. I'm predicting Philly will have a 185% voter turn out
"We've already passed the number of registration forms processed this year than we did in the last three years combined," said Larry Lomax, Clark County's registrar of voters. He added the gain may be the largest on a percentage basis in the nation.
We will end up surpassing the amount of people even qualified to vote.
Same thing happening in Albequerque, Wisconsin, Florida, Michigan...
If it's not close, they can't cheat. It must be REALLY close.
the strip clubs are getting their patrons to sign up and vote. telling them if W wins, these clubs will be shut down. using the FCC scare tactic.
the hijacking continues by the kerry krewe.
they're trying this all over the country - something has to be done - I say all US attorneys put this on the front burner and issue statements that voter fraud will be investigated and prosecuted on a federal level.
I'm amazed. Did I actually read someone suggest that if the Dems are registering more voters that Ashcroft needs to investigate? So now we're at a point where an opposition party can't try to sign voters up? What has HAPPENED to the Republican party I knew? I would assume we are still a democracy with two parties free to campaign. I saw nothing at all in that story that suggested there was anything except a get out the vote drive. Has our partisan desire overcome the very reason why people fight and die to defend our country -- elections?
The proper response is for Republicans to also work their tails off..and from what I read Karl Rove is doing just that to get a huge turnout on election day.
So by the comments above should the Democrats now say that it's undemocratic for Karl Rove to get Republican votes out?
I have to read this page again to make sure I read it right. I did think this was a democracy; any political science class talks about the importance of getting out the vote and registering voters. There is nothing illegal or wrong about it (unless you're talking about the 1960 vote in Chicago!)
As usual they are screwing up the entire state. Bush may very well lose Nevada this time around.
I dont live there. How can I help? Is there a Nevada Republicans group registering people that need donations?
ping
I doubt a credible investigation of this situation could be accomplished in 30 days under Ashcroft or any other AG.
Reno is Bush country. Find out if you can help there.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then the dims already won, republicans don't know how to fight.
But someone better be checking to make sure these registrations are real
All that many are asking for is to have a fair and legit election .. that really isn't too much to ask I think
