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.

^ Why do you keep quoting the OP?

But yeah. I thought coattails were overrated b/c NJ Dems held on decently downballot in 2013, but wow.

I can't understand why Reid didn't mobilize his vaunted turnout machine. Has he anything personal against Horsford or was he just caught by surprise?

Probably too focused on losing his Senate majority. So much for that!

[Miles]

The culinary unions tried a GOTV push for Horsford over the weekend, but its was too little too late.

Ralston is predicting Horsford will be back in 2016, though; this seat should be pretty low-hanging fruit then.

This is just embarrassing. F'ing lazy Americans. We don't deserve democracy. Maybe Obama should just do what all the right wingers say he already does and declare himself dictator. I doubt all the morons watching Honey Boo Boo and Duck Dynasty instead of taking 5 minutes to vote will notice.

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.

[KCDem]

It's just so amazing that Dina Titus. winning 55% of the vote, got fewer raw votes than Amodei's joke challenger who won 23%. JUNK TURNOUT!

[Knives]

Titus won with less than what her opponent lost to her last time.

Well, in the wake of such a wipeout for Dems, it's reassuring to get the names of the first Republicans who will be dead meat in the 2016 elections. Crescent Peri is the new Parker Griffith.

Hardy will get Blanched in '16

[ElectionsGuy]

Same with Texas, California, and Arizona. All western states with large Hispanic populations had abominable turnout.

There are almost 2 million uncounted votes in California and 300,00 in Arizona.

Nah, NV-04 is D+4, whereas Cao was in like a D+26 district. It wouldn't be unthinkable for Hardy to hold on in 2016 (though he's definitely an underdog).
