I've gotten a lot of questions about what I think about the NV early vote, so here's a quick thread. From a party share of the EV, there has obviously been a substantial gap closing relative to 2020, where at this point it was +16D, and right now it is +2D.

Of course, while I wouldn't compare raw numbers in a presidential to a midterm, it is worth pointing out that, at this point in 2022 the EV in NV was just +3D, and things turned out fine for Dems then.

Also, let's remember that the final Dem advantage (party reg, not vote) among all EV in NV in 2020 was +3. In 2022 it was +1.5. So Dems started off huge (with lots of mail) in 2020, but things settled back down to a narrow advantage. Meaning, let's keep watching this.

The other important thing to keep in mind here is that AVR in NV has meant many more unaffiliated voters, and more of them who lean Dem than in previous cycles. So look at turnout % instead of share by party

The differences are slightly less stark there, but still apparent. At this point in 2020 the Dem turnout % was 5 pts ahead of the GOP. Right now they are 0.1 pts behind, and at this point in 2022 Dem EV turnout was 0.2 pts behind the GOP (and again, things worked out okay).

I think so, but I'm not sure! I'm waiting until our afternoon update processes and will take a closer look then.
