How Harry Reid Likely Delivered Nevada for Clinton
Jon Ralston: Yet about one thing Trump was right: Harry Reid built this. After two years of boosting voter registration among key Democratic demographics, the retiring Senate majority leader has brought turnout among Hispanics in the state to record levels. In doing so, hes almost surely delivered the state for Hillary Clintonand possibly with it the presidential race (Trump has only the narrowest path to 270 electoral votes without Nevada). The reality of this election is that if Clinton wins, especially if she ends up needing Nevada, its not a stretch to declare that Reid was the single most important person in her victory.
Reids ground operation exploited the fear and loathing of Trump to the max, and the early results bear it out: Whereas the Latino vote was 15 percent of the Nevada electorate in 2008 and 18 percent in 2012, data I have seen shows now it is up 30 percent from 2012 in early voting, meaning it could go above 20 percent of all voters by Tuesday evening.
