Early Voting Ended Today - Ralston's Early-Voting Blog

Clark County firewall at 81K according to Ralston. 1,021,253 ballots, about 56 percent of the state’s active voters, have been cast - equivalent to 91 percent of the total Nevada turnout in the 2016 presidential race. Mail-in votes continue to roll in which will be counted as late as Nov. 10 if postmarked by Nov.3. Bottom line: Dems have to be happy, Republicans have to be worried.

Nevada Republicans Hoist by Their Own Petard? or Two Can Play That Way

Nevada Democratic Party seeking super-majority in state government this cycle. It's been a struggle but Nevada looks to overcome the Republican's de facto stranglehold on the state budget. Some years ago the Republicans used a super-majority to enact a 'no new taxes without two-thirds approval' amendment to the state constitution.

An October Vaccine...who could have ever predicted this?

I think it a most fitting last hurrah for the militant GOP from the most shameless snake-oil salesman ever to occupy the Oval Office. It fulfills every expectation of moral depravity I had for this administration from the very beginning.
