Nevada Democrats have widened their registration lead over Republicans as the election draws near. The Nevada Secretary of State’s Office reports that Republicans added nearly 12,000 new voters to their ranks last month, while Democrats added more than 17,000. Democrats now have a 77,000-voter advantage over Republicans among the nearly 1.4 million active registered voters in Nevada. That lead is smaller than during the same month in 2008, when Democrats had an 81,000-person advantage over Republicans among about 1.1 million active voters.
