Democrats lead early voting

Monday, Oct. 25, 2004 | 9:46 a.m.

Democrats continued to hold the advantage in Clark County early voting after polls closed this weekend, according to the Clark County Election Department.

So far more than 138,000 of Clark County's 684,000 voters cast their ballots early as of this morning, Larry Lomax, Clark County Registrar of Voters, said.

Of those who have voted, about 61,800 were registered Democrats; another 56,200 were Republicans, he said.

Early voting ends on Friday.

Meanwhile Republicans, spurred in part by a mailing blitz by the Bush-Cheney campaign and the state Republican Party, held a 305-vote edge in the number of absentee ballots cast.

The Election Department has also received more than 29,000 absentee ballots, 13,445 of which were Republicans, 13,140 of which were Democrats.
