To put things in perspective:

Nevada 1st
Dina Titus (D) 45,618     56.8%
Anette Teijeiro (R) 30,400     37.9%

Nevada 2nd
Mark Amodei (R) 122,575     65.8%
Kristen Spees (D) 52,033     27.9%

Nevada 3rd
Joe Heck (R) 88,502     60.8%
Erin Bilbray (D) 52,615     36.1%

Nevada 4th
Crescent Hardy (R) 63,435     48.5%
Steven Horsford (D) 59,800     45.8%


LOL. What a ing mess.

It's not like the governor's race was even remotely competitive and there was no Senate race there. Not shocking really that turnout was low in 1 and 4 in the Dem-leaning Vegas area in that type of environment.

It may not be politically correct to say, but districts are formed based on census data, which includes the illegal immigrant population.

In many of the minority-majority districts that include a number of Latinos, you're simply going to see some turnout drop off compared to other districts because illegals can't vote.

NV 4 is 30-percent Latino
NV 1 is 43-percent Latino

That explains some of the drop off, but not all of it. It wasn't like legal Hispanic turnout was great this cycle, either.
