Democrats turn out in force on first day of Nevada early vote

LAS VEGAS — Democrats hope to keep up the dominant performance they showed on the first day of Nevada's two-week early voting period.

Democrats accounted for 51 percent of early voters Saturday in Washoe County, while 33 percent were Republican.

Fifty-five percent of Clark County voters who cast their ballot on Saturday were registered Democrats, while 27 percent were Republicans. Total Clark County turnout of 39,309 broke a 2012 record in raw numbers, but not as a percentage of the active registered voter base.

Democrats typically turn out at higher margins than Republicans in early voting, but Republicans need to ensure they narrow the gap so they don't lose tight races.
