Democrats in Clark County have a 119,000 voter registration advantage over Republicans at the closing online voter registration.
Of the 833,000 active voters in Nevada’s largest county, 379,349 are Democrats; 259,953 are Republicans; and 147,911 are nonpartisans, according to the latest Clark County Election Department report updated Monday morning.
Saturday was the last day to register to vote online or mail in voter registration forms. Individual voters can still register in person by Oct. 16.
Democrats have been consistently outpacing Republicans in voter registrations statewide, and particularly in Clark County, the state’s Democratic stronghold and largest county.
Statewide, the Democratic voter registration advantage topped 80,000. As of Sunday, there were 1,228,234 active voters: 511,549 were Democrats; 431,188 were Republican; and 212,812 were nonpartisan.
In April, there were 36,000 more Democrats than Republicans statewide. In July, that advantage had climbed to 47,500 voters.
In Washoe County, viewed by both Republican and Democratic campaigns as a key swing county, registered Republicans outnumber Democrats 90,331 to 87,960, with 55,822 nonpartisan and minor party voters now registered in the county.
Nevada is seen as a crucial battleground swing state in the presidential election, and the U.S. Senate race between incumbent Sen. Dean Heller, a Republican, and Rep. Shelley Berkley, D-Las Vegas, is also hotly contested.
The Democratic advantage statewide is still less than the party's peak in Nov. 2008, when Democrats outnumbered Republicans by slightly more than 100,000. President Barack Obama that year handily beat Republican nominee Sen. John McCain by 12.5 percent.
Good..Now lets get them out to vote!
THE DEMOCRATS ARENT GOING TO REGISTER TO VOTE WHEN THEIR PARTY DOES THIS...
Speaking of lying hypocrites, Obama and his buddy Jeff Immelt is moving a bunch of jobs to China, the very thing they are accusing Romney of doing!!
Guess who is moving?
GE is Moving from
Wisconsin. Keep your eye on Waukesha, Wisconsin ......Their
biggest employer just moved out. General Electric is planning to move its
115-year-old X-ray division from Waukesha , Wis. , to Beijing
. In addition
to moving the headquarters,the company will invest $2 billion in China
and train more than 65 engineers and create six research centers. This is the
same GE that made $5.1 billion in the United
States last year, but paid no taxes - the same company
that employs more people overseas than it does in the United States
.. So let me
get this straight. President Obama appointed GE Chairman Jeff Immelt to head
his commission on job creation (job czar). Immelt is supposed to help create
jobs. I guess the President forgot to tell him in which country he was
supposed to be creating those jobs. Thanks
Jeff, you're a "real" American....give Barrack our Best! If this
doesn't show you the total lack of leadership of this President, I don't know
what does. Please pass this information to others and think about it before
you buy a GE product. For Snopes

Who cares how many homeless bums the Dems registered. They won't vote. They won't take the bus to the voting station or miss work. Republicans can hire people to watch our kids to go vote, so our voice will be heard louder than those who don't pay taxes aren't even citizens in many cases and who basically are as dumb as a rock.
Not surprising more people are registering as Dem or Ind. over Rep. - To be Republican anymore you have to leave your brains and sanity at the door before entering the GOP land if idiocy, conspiracy and lunacy.
The dems may register more voters but unless there is something free, most won't bother to go to the polls.
In the old days in Chicago the Democratic politicians would buy a vote by giving guys on skid row a shot of whiskey for each vote. Nothing has really changed in 50 years.
This is what I have to say to that:
GOTV
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012 and ALL the Democrats!
Remember "Are We Fired Up?" "Are We Ready to Win this Election?" "Yes, WE CAN! ~ Yes, WE DID, ~ Yes WE WILL AGAIN! Just Believe WE CAN DO THIS!
4 More Years!!!!!!!!

Romney said seniors upon reaching Medicare age (depending on which age he picks for eligibility) will go into a state pool for negotiating with health insurance companies. If the Republicans repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA), health insurance companies will probably deny coverage for everyone, especially seniors, with a pre-existing condition. Then what? If the health insurance companies bid with these pools that only include seniors the prices will be outrageous. They do not want to insure high-risk people; they are profit-killers.
Ryan's plan will require three bids from health insurance companies and the voucher for the seniors will match the middle bid. Seniors can accept that voucher amount or pay the difference on a more expensive plan. Only the largest states have three major health insurance providers in their state. Smaller states may only have one provider. No health insurance company wants to be stuck with the seniors and their vouchers.
If ACA is repealed, healthcare insurance companies will have very little government oversight. They will raise rates at will without the need for justification. Eventually, seniors will have to accept their fate; no healthcare insurance because of rising costs. Remember during a GOP debate when someone in the audience shouted out "Let them die" after the moderator asked; "What does a needy person with no healthcare do when he can't afford it"? The shout out was followed by enthusiast applause from the audience. Not one candidate rebuked that shout out and applause. I thought this is not the United States of America that I know! Where did we go wrong; did the trickle up create a new type of American GREED and it is all about me, I want more and I don't care about you syndrome.
The GOP says seniors and pretty much everyone, but the wealthy must sacrifice. The question is what happens to the sacrificial lambs? The GOP completely ignores that talking point. That's because it doesn't affect them personally so they do not care. When government benefits for the most needy are cut or eliminated what happens to those people? Currently 45,000 people in the US die each year for lack of healthcare.
Well lacking a plan from Romneey, I suppose we'll have to wait and see what happens to the sacrificial lambs if the Republicans take over.
The largest health insurance companies talk to one another, but do not really compete. The large players have a national monopoly all worked out and they really are not interested in Ryan's Medicare plan. They ARE really interested in the Affordable Care Act's state pools as they contain a mix of people and no seniors, which will mean more profits because of more customers.

The Conservatives with their constant hateful, mean-spirited, degrading, belittling rants do not accomplish anything; people really don't read them. They look foolish and the American People are sick and tired of the hate and mean-spirited bombastic orators. We read their posts every day. There are a few Conservatives that can articulate their positions without name-calling, demeaning and condescending comments toward the opposition. Sad to say, but it appears as if the right wing is filled with hate and rage. It is very unfortunate that people feel empowered in blogs to spew such hate and vitriol.
So many of the problems can be placed at the feet of the wealthy, their PACS, and their personal political party called the Republiican Party. What is the justification for taking money from the poor, elderly, disabled, and the Middle Class and handing it over to the uber-wealthy and corporations? No one can come up with a legitimate argument to support that premise.
We are on a long slippery slope and we are running out of road "to kick the can down". We are running out of tomorrows to fix the problems. One day it will be too late. And all of the conservatives who are filled with such hate, rage, and anger will have to explain to your grandchildren or perhaps children that YOU contributed to this problem.
Who will suffer:
1) Senior Citizens;
2) Working Poor;
3) Veterans;
4) Unemployed;
5) College Students;
6) 55 Million who need healthcare;
7) Minorities;
8) Women;
9) Disabled;
10) Elderly;
11) Environment;
12) Middle Class.

Really take time and research the issues that are important to you and your family. Search on the key words that are important to you. Know the difference between fact and fiction.
These are my opinions and I hope that everyone takes the time to be an informed voter and forms their own opinions based on their research. This may be the most important election of our lifetime.
So, get out and vote.
I am voting OBAMA/BIDEN 2012 and all the Democrats
I am reasonably intelligent (CPA) and know the tax aspects of Obamacare (thanks Nevada Society of CPAs). The steep tax increases are going to curtail business expansion and unemployment will actually go up in 2013. This is not good for the country and not good for Nevada.
President Obama and the rest of the Democrats should cruise to victory after each of the registered names votes. The problem is that while the Democrats have more names registered, they are not actual voters. Until the State of Nevada requires positive ID, voter fraud will be common.
"Until the State of Nevada requires positive ID, voter fraud will be common."
ID fraud as foreseen by "John Dough?" Yeah, you have no place to lecture.
YES WE CAN AND YES WE WILL!!!
Nevada is a BLUE STATE.
We will re-elect PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!
We can't afford greedy republicans.
... Good-JOB-Dems! As an openly-Gay-man, who began his award-winning, 39+ yrs. Print-Journalism at thee R/J in Vegas, am sending congrats from my hometown area of Bflo./Niagara. This election will-BE-won by voter turnout! Obama/Biden deserve another 4-yrs. to keep our country strong & headed "Forward!" TOGETHER!!!
wow kepi that cutting and pasting you do is great
here's mine
http://2016themovie.com/
We nonpartisans will again do the electing, thank you very much!
And most of them will do whatever it takes to strip Reid of any power he has. Too bad Obama was too weak to be his own man and now he will pay the price for being Calvin Coolidge II.
texexnv.......
PRESIDENT OBAMA and Harry Reid are doing a great
job.
The majority of Americans will make sure that
those republican liars, thieves and crooks get
no where near the White House.
Greedy, heartless republicans have done enough
damage to our middle class and economy.
WE'RE NOT STUPID!
There are plenty of hard working Teamsters that are unemployed with no prospects of work. Unemployment here is terrible. When they get in the polling booth they will vote for Romney. Put a business guy in the White House and get the economy moving again.
NVFisherman.......
The president that destroyed our entire economy
was a business man named George Bush.
We're still digging out of that hell-hole.
We already went down that dirty republican road.
NO, we're not going back there.
Romney is worse than bush.
AND no Teamster will vote for a greedy republican.
We don't need Voter ID in Nevada. You have to have a Nevada issued ID to register to vote. To get an ID you have to show birth or citizenship. There are no voter fraud issues in Nevada except in the minds of the Fox News watchers.
Demographics are changing all over the country. In 5 years there will be a switch in minorities in many states. Trying to suppress the vote will not change that demographic. The Republicans have a real problem going forward as their voters are dyeing and not being replaced at a rate sufficient to win future elections. So they will be faced with having to adjust their policies to be more in line with the New mix of Americans rather than the Older white mix of Americans. We already see in this election that the R's carry few minority voters.
You can hate it or like it, but the facts do not change.
