GOTV in Nevada (NV) Final Day. Dems lead by > 69,000 EV
Organizing For America delivered a monster blow for Obama today, a net gain of 9,633 Democratic early votes.11/03/12 1:15 AM EST - Democratic GOTV surges FORWARD with a blow out of 9,633* If you're not saying HOLY PH*CK right now, you don't know how huge that number is. You're seeing it here first. No media outlet has these numbers compiled yet.
Despite overall statewide turnout slowing by about 10% from a week earlier, Democrats are still turning out in larger numbers than Republicans. At the start of the week it was reported that Republicans may be catching the Democratic GOTV. That day the Dems only gained about 850. But Tuesday's Dem gain was 2,500, Wednesday's gain of ~3,300 Thursday's ~5,200.** In other words, Democrats are still casting ballots in more aggressive numbers than Republicans.
Unofficial NV SoS Results for 11/02/12 - Official results to come out Monday morning.
Democratic lead - ~ 70,243
Clark County (Las Vegas) - 70,694 (2008 lead by election day was ~80,000. Dems won NV by 12% that year)
Washoe County (Reno) - <451> Reps pick up 5 votes, five.
Further demoralizing Republicans will be the above results from today's two county EV.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
* I presume that there will be a negative affect from absentee votes, which is why I'm conservatively saying 69,000, when the actual two county numbers clearly show 70,000+.
** Clark County raw numbers show 48,190 votes cast.

I loved the second one. It sounds like a journalist frantically trying to corroborate a story. Who do I call? Damn it, where's their number!? Will they still be up at this late hour. The County hasn't even posted the results on their Web site yet. Where did this rumor come from?
Come on! Come on! Someone answer their phone already. This story is breaking. It's big news.
Me thinks anyways.
