Early in-person voting is wrapping up today in Nevada with almost 470,000 votes tallied as of Thursday, and trends so far suggest that enthusiasm is lagging among Democratic voters in the Silver State.
The Nevada Senate race, with Democratic incumbent Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and GOP challenger Adam Laxalt, is one of four toss-up races that will determine the balance of power in Congress.
The Democrats lead by 1% in early in-person voting so far, or just 5,200 ballots. This could spell trouble for Democrats, according to analysis from The Nevada Independent.
In Clark County, Nevada's most Democrat-heavy county, lagging turnout among Democratic registered voters is also apparent.
As of Thursday, just 25,000 Democratic voters had turned out so far, versus roughly 71,000 Democratic voters at this point in the 2018 midterms.
Nevada has only 4 House seats. They can let it go.
And then they close down the counting at 11pm so they can get a “good night’s sleep”...and voila! The next morning, Dems are ahead by 25,000 votes.
It’s a miracle, I tell ya!
The danger to Dems is if they engage in vote fraud and the Republicans win anyway, and then investigate.
