More Dems voting early

Democrats outnumbered Republicans at the polls in Clark County by a margin of nearly three to one on the first day of early voting, according to the county Election Department.

Of the 25,110 first-day voters Saturday, 15,644, or 62 percent, were registered Democrats, while just 5,721, 23 percent, were Republicans. The rest were nonpartisans or third-party members.

Clark County is the state’s Democratic stronghold, but the turnout represented a disproportionately Democratic rush to the polls. Democrats represent 47 percent of registered voters in the county, Republicans 32 percent.
