Deciphering the nonpartisan races

[Awsi Dooger]

That always takes up 99% of my time while filling out the sample ballot prior to voting early, specifically trying to figure out who the Democrats are.

Here are a couple of links, first to nvdems.com. The early races are obvious but the nonpartisan district court and similar races are near the bottom of the scroll, including four with two Democrats running against each other:

And here are union endorsements from SEIU Nevada:

If anyone else has a link to similar union endorsements, or helpful info on the nonpartisan races, please post here. :)

1. Las Vegas Sun endorsements

This is the more progressive of the Las Vegas papers, albeit relegated to insert status in the rag Review Journal. The Sun endorsements agree, with a few exceptions, with that SEIU Nevada site, plus they included races SEIU did not endorse, along with the ballot questions:

2. Las Vegas Gleaner provided more related links today

That's the progressive blog here in Las Vegas. I think I prompted his thread by posting a comment on his site over the weekend, asking about nonpartisan endorsements:
