NEVADA UPDATE: According to Jon Ralston's most recent e-mail, Republicans are doing very well in Clark County, home of Las Vegas:
More than 86,000 people have now voted early and almost 22,000 have sent in mail ballots in Clark County--the combined number is 107,866. Democrats have about 2,300-voter lead when the totals are combined. The actual numbers when mail and early voting are combined:
Democrats -- 47,713 (44 percent)
Republicans -- 45,444 (42 percent)
Independents -- 14,709 (14 percent)
Republicans are voting five percent above their registration in Clark County and Democrats are voting at their proportional numbers. That almost surely means that the Democrats will have to significantly widen this lead or it is unlikely that John Kerry will have a large enough advantage in Clark County to win the state.
I know nothing about NV politics beyond what I read here. Is there anything more that can be done? Ideas?
