A reader emailed and asked why I didn’t say anything about today being Primary Day in Nevada. The short answer is I didn’t think readers outside NV would care and residents here already knew about it. Anyhoo, I just got home a little while ago and am checking the preliminary results online.
Here are a few Fun Clark County Facts while you wait for me to do that. Clark County is NV’s largest county by population (because it contains Las Vegas). County was created in 1908. Total county population was 1.9 million in 2006. We have approximately 327,000 registered Dems, 235,000 registered GOPers, and 136,000 “miscellaneous” (Independents etc.) for a total of about 697,000 registered voters.
OK, enough of that. With 82% of the precincts and all the mail-outs in, we had about 102,000 people vote. See all the results here. No big surprises in the Congressional races. I’m too tired to go through the rest of them one by one, but I will say this:
Glad to see Chad Christensen won in his Assembly race. Glad to see Francis “the Knife” Allen did poorly in hers. Didn’t much care whether Assemblyman Bob Beers won or lost, but know people who are glad.
And am appalled and disgusted that Family Court Judge Del Vecchio got 20,000+ votes. I’ve been sitting on some details I’m privy to re: Del Vecchio thinking it was all best revealed in October, but if That many people are not yet aware of the many, MANY reasons this guy should not only Not be on the bench but should be in prison…I’ll re-think the delay.
