Friday marked the end of the first week of early voting in Nevada. In Clark County, which represented 65% of Nevada's votes in 2004, there have already been exactly 160,000 early votes cast in person, with a striking Democratic advantage. This number shatters 2004's one-week early turnout record of around 102,000.
Of those 160,000 votes, a hair short of 56%--89,554 votes total--were from registered Democrats, while a little less than 28 were cast by registered Republicans--44,607 total votes. That means that during the first week, Democrats outnumbered Republicans with regard to total in-person early voting by a factor of over 2 to 1. We have had 25,839 non-partisan or minor party ballots cast as well.
