Voter turnout 64.5 percent in Nevada

(AP) Predictions of an almost two-thirds Nevada voter turnout nearly came true amid intense interest in Senate Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid's contest against Republican Sharron Angle, officials said Wednesday.

Some 64.5 percent of 1.1 million registered voters statewide cast ballots in Tuesday's midterm election, the Nevada secretary of state's office said, compared with a turnout of more than 59 percent of the state's 990,000 registered voters in the 2006 midterm election.

In Las Vegas, Clark County elections chief Larry Lomax reported that more than 63 percent of registered voters cast ballots. Almost 40 percent voted early or by mail. Turnout in the state's most populous county was up 7 percent from 2006.

In Reno, the Washoe County Registrar of Voters Dan Burk put turnout at just under 64 percent of almost 221,000 registered voters. Just under 38 percent voted early or by mail.

Results were unofficial. The Nevada Supreme Court was scheduled to certify statewide election results on Nov. 23.

For some historical perspective that these Nevada turnout numbers are hard to swallow. Here are presidential turnouts in a 60 year time frame:

1932, 52% ; 1936, 57%; 1940, 59%; 1944, 56%; 1948, 51%; 1952, 62%; 1956, 59%; 1960, 63%; 1964, 62%, 1968, 61%, 1972, 55%; 1976, 54%; 1980, 53%; 1984, 53%; 1988, 50%; 1992; 54%, and 1996; 49%.

  This is proof it was rigged.

  No - the high turnout and the favorable vote for Harry Reid was due to his extremely high unpopularity... no - wait - that doesn't make sense....

Theft, pure and simple. The GOP needs to take a stand on this, right now.

” The GOP should demand a special prosecutor to examine every single one of those particular votes against the voter registration records; and the voter registration records checked against the social security administration’s death records. “

The GOP never stands up for itself. Remember Al Franken?

Wow! So they are now saying that this election is the highest percentage ever. LOL! They are trying to cover it up. No doubt it was stolen.

You know; when the collapse finally happens and there is lawlessness, Word will never get out that being a former union member and crossing my path are a decisively bad thing.

What is sad is knowing what we know and that probably nothing will be done about it. I am sorry, but you don’t 10 point swings over night when everything is going the other way. No question it was stolen.

Likely you are right. They just let them get away with it.

Angle certainly saw it coming.

Harry Reid stealing the election in Nevada

Another factor to consider is that the population of the state has declined with the economic downturn. With the highest unemployment rate in the country, many people have simply not stuck around. Meanwhile, few are moving here. So, it is especially curious to me that such a high number voted, let alone voted for Harry Reid.

With 38% mail in you can guarantee that it was rigged.

How is it that O’Realie and Hannuty were not all over this. If it smells like a fish it is a fish. Hairy FISH Reid needs to be wrapped in obamawrap. O where O where has my country gone? The Socialist Unions have taken it away from me. Time to bury another SEIU leader at the corner stone of some shovel ready Obummer project.

Thanks all and for the other link too.

It just might be time to make a bid deal out of this one.

The exit polls showed something like 55% of voters didn’t like Reid. Dirty Harry would do anything to win.
