More Early Voting Trends From The Las Vegas Area
In Clark County, Nevada, there's five days of early voting down and nine to go. Here's the numbers:
- 113,165 votes cast, up 60% from the 70,669 cast during the same period in 2004.
- 57% of early voters are Democratic
- 27% are Republican
- 16% are unaffiliated
The interesting thing is that in the past couple of days, the Democratic advantage has accelerated. In the last two days alone:
- 62% (!) are Democratic
- 20% are Republican
- 18% are unaffiliated
It's hard to see how McCain will be able to make up for this Democratic enthusiasm on election day; if anything, Republicans are growing increasingly disillusioned, which could accelerate the Democratic rout.
