NV: Republicans have the better day in early voting. (Mobile voting sites?)

[RandySF]

So the Republicans crushed the Democrats in conservative oldsterville and rural LDSville, where the early voting sites are Monday and Tuesday. I'd expect the same when tonight's numbers come in, then a return to form once the mobile sites go into Democratic-friendly territory for the rest of the week.

Republicans statewide edged the Democrats in voting on Monday (Some Humboldt County ballots are outstanding, but methinks those won't help the Democrats too much). The overall numbers for Monday -- 21,120 Republicans to 20,189 Democrats. Other voters numbered 9,816.

That does not happen often. We'll see if it happens again or if Democrats re-establish control Tuesday.

1. <931> votes R to D statewide coming off a weekend

may have more to do with small counties casting their remaining votes than it does about a crushing defeat. Come on! As the numbers stack up, here's what I posted earlier from the two largest counties in Nevada, using the same NV SoS numbers Jon used:

Dems
Clark - 162,885
Washoe - 35,296
Total - 198,181

Reps
Clark - 114,192
Washoe - 34,430
Total - 148,622

Advantage Democrats - 49,559

Historically, we know the Clark County will determine how the state goes, as seen yet again by how decidedly it can favor one party. Democrats are outvoting Republicans in Clark County by 17.5 points, while Washoe County, once known as a Republican stronghold, is leaning blue...still.

We'll see in the days to follow, but the fact that Democratic votes outnumber Republican votes could be telling of voter enthusiasm.

2. here in illinois, we don't give party affiliations to vote, except in primaries.

I went to the grocery store today, and they had the mobile voting trailer there, so i voted.
Although- when i used my passport for an i.d., the old guy at the door tried telling me i needed a driver's license.
(I.D. isn't required at the polls on election day, but is for early voting) I told him he was wrong, as my passport is government issued and totally valid. he gave me a frown, and then gave me the card to get a ballot.
Our precinct is SO republican that NONE of the state-level races(state house/senate,etc.) even had any Democratic candidates.
