Spike in early voting; Clark now may get to 30 percent GOP turnout after Election Day

Friday, June 4, 2010 | 8:28 a.m.

Biggest day yet on Thursday in Clark -- 9,100 voters.

Here's where we are:

Republicans:41,277 (early and absentee ballots): 17.9 percent

Democrats: 37,100: 11.6 percent

Looks like overall turnout for the GOP in the South, once Election Day ballots are counted, could reach 30 percent, especially if surge continues today. Could this help Sue Lowden in the Senate race? Or is it too late? Prediction in my column on Sunday.

Big uptick Thursday in Washoe, too:

Democrats: 9.7 percent

Republicans: 13.9 percent
