DEMS ADD 3.5% TO THEIR VOTER REG MARGIN OVER REPUBLICANS IN NV SINCE 2016 ELECTION

May 11, 2017

According to Nevada Secretary of State reporting, in October 2016, right before the 2016 general election, Democrats had 577,679 registered voters compared to 488,861 registered Republicans. According to the most recent April 2017 Nevada Secretary of State report, Democrats now have 581,133 registered voters compared to 489,222 active voters registered as Republicans, a 3.5% increase in just the last 6 months.

Democrats had lead with a 90,000 plus voter advantage for the past several years as more people move here from California, more immigrants become citizens and the DMV has been leveraged to register them to vote. The dramatic political shift was seen in last year’s general election. Nevada has voted for the winning candidate for President for the past 100 years all but once. And now twice, President Trump lost to Hillary Clinton in 2016 in Nevada by some 26,000 votes.

In 2016, Democrats registered over 106,000 new voters.

October 2016 Democrat active voters 577,679

                                                        Plus 106,337

January 2016 Republican active voters 423,308

Clearly, the 106,000 voters Democrats registered made a huge difference in the election results at the end of the day.

While Democrats continue their active voter registration drive this year, Republicans are in disarray in Clark County after their Chairman stepped down. The DMV voter registration program has paid off for Democrats and is why they pushed in this legislative session for opt out voter registration at the DMV.

The DMV has been a voter registration machine for the Democrats here in Nevada and across the U.S.
