Nevada Republicans enter Election Day with a 42K vote edge over Democrats

It total turnout is comparable to the last two presidential election years, about two-thirds of Nevadans who will vote have already done so, and perhaps as many as half a million voters will cast ballots, either in person or by mail, Tuesday. (Photo: Ronda Churchill/Nevada Current)

As of Monday night, Republicans had cast 42,238 more votes than Democrats in Nevada.

Cumulative totals released by the Nevada Secretary of State’s office showed that of 1,089,092 votes, 37.7% of them had been cast by Republicans, 33.8% by Democrats, and 28.6% by nonpartisan and third party voters.

The totals include votes cast in person during the early voting period that ended Friday as well as mail ballots received and processed Monday.

The million-plus votes cast so far represent 53.5% of Nevada registered.

A little more than three-fourths of Nevada registered voters cast ballots in the last two presidential election cycles – 77% in 2016 and 78% in 2020.

A similar turnout this year would mean about two-thirds of Nevadans who will vote have already done so, and perhaps as many as half a million voters will cast ballots, either in person or by mail, Tuesday.
