Number of votes in Nevada

[ukchris82]

Just looking at the total of votes that the candidates got on each side.
A lot more people seemed to vote in the republican caucus than the democratic one.

Any reasons or am I completely wrong (i know all precincts haven't reported yet)?

IIRC the results for the Democrats are showing county delegates while the Republicans are showing the actual voters.

Interesting.  I'd expect Republicans to outnumber Democrats.  This is Nevada we're talking about, after all.  But not by a whole hell of a lot.  Anyway, here are the registered voters numbers statewide according to the Nevada Secretary of State as of 2004:


Democrat: 359,285

Green: 2,430

Independent American: 16,254

Libertarian: 4,998

Natural Law: 794

Reform: 608

Republican: 366,406

Nonpartisan: 128,545

I reckon you got newer number than I.

One would expect the demographics population growth in Nevada to favor Democrats both in terms of partisan registration and in practical effect.
