The National Journal released an article this morning that has some nice tidbits re: Nevada. This is the nugget I like:
Republicans consistently run behind Democrats among early voters in Nevada. But the GOP has two firewalls: absentee voters, who tend to hail from rural, Republican-leaning counties in the state, and voters who turn up at the polls on Election Day. But in what could be a troubling sign for the GOP, early reports over the weekend suggest Democrats are even outperforming Republicans among voters casting an absentee ballot. Jon Ralston, the Nevada politics guru, reported that Democratic voters have turned in 52 percent of absentee ballots returned to Clark County, five points higher than their registration edge over Republicans. That's not to say that the GOP won't catch up. They probably will. But this is starting to feel like Reid's 2010 election. Go Nevada!↧
