First timers, young & hispanics light in Nevada turnout so far


October 29th, 2008

Three groups that were expected to turn out in heavy numbers this election are said to be lagging by the Las Vegas Review Journal. According to the report while 25% of the state has turned out for early voting only 20% of Hispanics, 14% of young voters (those under 30) and 15% of new voters have showed up to cast ballots.

The data provide a glimpse into the composition of the more than 300,000 Nevadans who had taken advantage of early voting over the first nine days of the 14-day period. The information comes from proprietary databases that political action groups purchase from commercial vendors, cross-referenced with the public data the state releases showing who has voted.
