Dems’ voter registration edge breaks 50,000
By Joseph K. CooperLAS VEGAS-For the fourth straight month, Nevada Democrats have built on their voter registration edge over Republicans and now hold an advantage of more than 50,000 voters.
According to newly released numbers by the secretary of state's office, there are now 448,853 active Democratic voters in the Silver State. That's 43 percent of the electorate. There are 398,039 active Republican voters, about 38 percent of the electorate.
Both parties gained voters in the state and in Congressional District 3, where the Democratic advantage is now nearly 23,000 voters. In the 2nd Congressional District, however, Republicans experienced a net loss of almost 500 voters while Democrats gained a comparable number. The Republican edge in that district is now 30,370 registrations.
