Nevada’s Active Voter Rolls Increase By Nearly 8,000 In August, New Online Registration Program In Clark County May Help Add To Total

By Nevada News Bureau Staff

CARSON CITY – Nevada’s active voter rolls increased by 7,882 registrations in August, with Democrats picking up just over 2,600 new voters compared to just over 2,000 for Republicans.

Democrats now have 461,461 active registered voters just about two months before the Nov. 2 general election compared to 402,960 for the GOP, a 58,501 edge for Democrats and a slight increase from July.

Nonpartisan voters added 2,249 new registrants in August, bringing the total to 167,802. Nonpartisan voters are expected to play a critical role in the outcome of a number of contests in Nevada, particularly the neck-and-neck race between U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV., and his Republican challenger, Sharron Angle.

In total there are just under 1.1 million active registered voters in Nevada, a number that may grow at a faster rate now that Secretary of State Ross Miller has implemented an online registration program in Clark County.

1. That's odd, isn't it. For midterms? Maybe online

registration made the difference, or the airwaves being flooded.

2. "58,501 edge for Democrats and a slight increase from July."

If registered Dems turn out to vote, Dems will win.

4. So weird!

It's so strange. There's such a disconnect between the breathless reporting of how Dems are going to get pounded in November, but then you look at voter registration stories likes this or fundraising stats and Dems are still ahead of Reps. It's just ... weird!

3. Make sure the independent voters know that the color of their ballot must be black.

You know, the ones that have lost all hope. :-)
