In a surprising turn of events, Republicans now outnumber Democrats in active voter registration in Nevada. According to the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office, as of January 28, there were 618,385 registered Republicans compared to 618,286 Democrats. This marks the first time since 2007 that Republicans have held a lead over Democrats in voter registration in the Silver State.
While both parties still trail behind non-partisan voters, who total 693,459, this shift in registration reflects Nevada’s recent move towards the right. President Donald Trump’s victory in Nevada by 3.1 percentage points in November marked the first time a Republican had won the state in a presidential race since 2004.
A full monthly report on voter registration statistics is expected to be released next week, providing further insight into this shift in political dynamics in Nevada. This change could have significant implications for upcoming elections and political campaigns in the state. Democrats will need to strategize and mobilize their base to counteract the growing influence of Republicans in Nevada.
Overall, this development underscores the evolving political landscape in Nevada and highlights the importance of voter registration and engagement in shaping the state’s future direction. It will be interesting to see how this shift in voter registration numbers impacts future elections and political outcomes in the Silver State.
