Jim YoderHOST
Well,
Randy ThompsonGUEST
yeah, the vibe in Washoe isn't much better, but yeah, we can start with Clark County.
Jim YoderHOST
So you're saying that there's how many more Democrats voting than Republicans?
Randy ThompsonGUEST
Right now, 34,000 more Democrats have voted in Clark County than Republicans.
Randy ThompsonGUEST
And in Washoe, 5,000 more Democrats have voted than Republicans.
Randy ThompsonGUEST
So they've got a good lead.
Randy ThompsonGUEST
Now, we're leading in the rules, but we can't count on the rules to cover all of us.
Megan BarthGUEST

Megan BarthGUEST
Now we know because of former Republicans understand of all, and I don't even think they were Republicans, but nonetheless, they passed the voter voter law, which basically gives illegal aliens licenses, identification cards that, that allow them to drive.
Megan BarthGUEST
So if, An illegal alien or a foreign national on a green card, et cetera, get this DMV, authorized identification card, and they register, automatically register them to vote because it's automatic DMV registration, which is another quote-unquote Republican understandable statute.
Victor JakesGUEST
Now, this is just on its face good news for Republicans because The vast majority of Democrats, about around 77% of Democrats live in Clark County.
Victor JakesGUEST
And so the group with the highest amount of turnout in the state are actually Democrats who live outside of Clark and Washoe County.
Victor JakesGUEST
So rural Democrats have better turnout than any other group in the state.
Victor JakesGUEST
And the only silver lining for Republicans is they're just There just aren't that many rural Democrats.
Sam SchaafHOST
It's not exactly the same, but it has a lot of the Northern Nevada issues in there.
Sam SchaafHOST
I know Sparks wants to have other things thrown in and Washoe does, but Clark does as well.

Uh, I know Sparks wants to have other things thrown in and Washoe does, but Clark does as well.
Sam ShadHOST

Henry EvansHOST

Cisco AguilarGUEST
And what was interesting is there is somebody in our community who works with Cleta Mitchell who files voter challenges all the time.
Cisco AguilarGUEST
And they filed over 800 of them in Washoe County, where Reno is located.
Cisco AguilarGUEST
And as Washoe was going through those challenges, 90% of them were already being addressed because of the way the ERIC system works and because we are a member of ERIC.
Cisco AguilarGUEST
And so I was like, oh, this is great.
