Some interesting take aways here in NV: Day 4 EV - Jon Ralston Reports
Commenting on the previous 4 day Early Vote thus far in Nevada:
What to watch:
--Enthusiasm gap seems obvious so far. This will kill down-ballot Republicans if it continues.
--GOP candidates will need indies to win, and they will need them big league. No evidence they are getting them.
--Hispanic turnout seems high so far in key precincts.
--The Washoe numbers are key, and Dems doing well there. It’s no accident major GOP surrogates have been going there — Graham, McCain, Pence. They know.
--The GOP usually does better in the middle days of early voting in Clark, not winning but coming closer. Keep an eye out for that.
--The Clark firewall will kill Trump. Can Heck save himself even if it gets to 70,000-plus Democratic advantage? Doubtful.
The deep dive shows the wave still building — I’ve added the northern state Senate seat:... KTVN 13 Las Vegas blog - Jon Ralston

He goes on to the state candidates where the Rs are in more trouble there too, due to HRC's commanding GOTV effort.
Keep working hard. No lost vote is acceptable. Stay enthusiastic. It's going to be close. We will make the difference.
