LAS VEGAS—One day after Nevada began in-person early voting, the results were already striking, with Republicans outnumbering Democrats 22,284 to 11,854 at early-voting locations across the Silver State, according to statistics from Nevada’s Secretary of State.
It is a pattern that held even in the state’s most populous county, Clark, where 14,750 Republicans turned out compared with 9,146 Democrats.
At a voting site in Henderson on Oct. 19, one person who showed up when the doors opened was still waiting to vote more than an hour later.Nevadans’ passion was clear from interviews with The Epoch Times.
“If Kamala wins, which she can, I’ll probably cry. And if the other guy wins, I’ll probably cry,” Harris voter Ken Gordon said.
“It’s not about me. It’s about my grandkids and their kids,” Trump voter Christine Gordon, no relation to Ken, said. She was accompanied by her granddaughter Crista Hill, who also said she voted for Trump.

Early voting wasn’t easy in some parts of sprawling Clark County, which includes everything from the synthetic paradise of the Las Vegas Strip to the mobile homes of Cal-Nev-Ari, named for its location near the convergence of California, Nevada, and Arizona.
South of Cal-Nev-Ari along Route 95, early voting wasn’t yet available in Searchlight, Nevada, population 445.It will be possible to cast a ballot at the Searchlight Community Center on Oct. 25 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. On the morning of Oct. 20, it was, like every similar site in the state, close.
Farther south is Laughlin, Nevada, which has its own mini-strip along the Colorado River, a bridge length away from Arizona. The town’s public library, which will host voting from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1 and on Election Day, was also closed.
