  Townhall: ... in Nevada, the Republican share of the vote right now has never been seen in the Reid Machine era. If anything, the takeaway is that rural Republicans in the state are voting like crazy. That’s a good thing. Jon Ralston, who’s been tracking the numbers, stated the obvious: it’s better to be a Republican than a Democrat regarding the latest vote dump (via Nevada Independent ).... ... Nevada could be turning red this year.  It looks like Harris and the Democrats are failing in another blue state.  See also: PJ Media: In a recent analysis on 2WAY’s livestream, political commentator Mark Halperin offered a stark assessment of Kamala Harris’s chances in the 2024 election. Halperin says Democratic and Republican sources are telling him that Kamala is “unlikely to win Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona.” ... More states are swinging away from the Harris campaign.  And: Trump has reason in Pennsylvania to feel better than Harris

   The Federalist Wire: ... The Republican National Committee (RNC), former President Donald Trump’s campaign, and the Nevada Republican Party have taken legal action against the state of Nevada over its handling of mail-in ballots. The lawsuit, filed recently, challenges Nevada’s practice of counting mail-in ballots that are received the day after an election and do not contain postmarks, which the plaintiffs argue is a violation of state law. In a press release on Monday, the RNC underscored that Nevada law mandates mail-in ballots to be postmarked on or before Election Day to be considered valid. ... Couting ballots in violation of the state's law would make it easier to cheat.  Republicans and the Trump campaign believe that Democrats benefit from the cheating.

 Fox News: A "tall, skinny alien creature with greenish color" that was about eight to 10 feet tall was reportedly hiding behind a forklift in a Las Vegas family's backyard after a potential UFO crashed overnight April 30/May 1. "I looked at it in the eyes, and my body just froze like having sleep paralysis," a witness, who didn't give his name, said in a YouTube video. "He had a weird-looking face, big feet and big shiny eyes and a big mouth. "I can hear its loud, deep breathing and its stomach kept moving. He would just stare at me, and seconds later, I could move again." He called 911 at 12:25 a.m. on May 1 and told the dispatcher that large creatures were in his backyard. " They're not human. 100 percent they're not human," he told the 911 dispatcher in an audio recording. "I swear to god it's not a joke. It's actually real." Las Vegas police followed up on the call after a different officer's bod...

 Fox News: Californians escape the state for Nevada, bring problems of ‘homelessness,’ ‘drug addiction’: report 'I call the cops; no one comes. There’s nothing I can do,' one California resident said after witnessing a beating on the street ... "Locals are getting priced out of houses and apartments by Californians who can pay higher rents or drop larger down payments. Nevadans are struggling with homelessness and drug addiction; lines for food and housing assistance are growing," the LA Times wrote. ... Many of the companies that have left California over the last three decades have chosen to move to Reno, Nevada, making it one of the most popular destinations in the country for ex-California businesses, a Claremont McKenna study found. ... I think Reno is a much more attractive city than Las Vegas, but I have not spent much time in either of them.  Reno is close to Lake Tahoe.  

 Newsmax: The "red wave" is strong in Arizona and Nevada and will lead to Republican control of the House and Senate, as Arizona's GOP candidates will all win their races, Newsmax's Ric Grenell, who has been on the ground in Arizona watching the race, said Wednesday, citing the high numbers of election day ballots still to be counted. "Let me just be very specific on the data, and the reality is right now that we have at least 450,000 possibly 500,000 ballots now left," Grenell, an acting director of national intelligence and ambassador under former President Donald Trump, told Newsmax's "John Bachman Now." "Those are almost exclusively election day voters, which we know are traditionally Republican." There have been four or five dumps of the ballots so far, taking down the number of uncounted ballots to about 450,000 from 1 million, and in those drops, "the Republican team has been winning those by 65-70-75%" in each, Gren...

 The Hill: Signs are emerging that Nevada could see a red wave in November, putting Democratic control of a critical state at risk and potentially costing the party its Senate majority. Recent polling has shown Republican Senate hopeful Adam Laxalt leading Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), albeit within the margin of error, and demonstrated that Republicans’ preferred midterm issue — the economy and inflation — is dominating the minds of residents from the tourism-focused state. While Democrats and their allies argue that races have always been close in the swing state, they acknowledge that the stakes are a little higher there this year. “We’re fighting against history here,” said Ted Pappageorge, secretary-treasurer for the Culinary Workers Union, a powerful Nevada union, in reference to the headwinds the president’s party faces in midterm cycles. The organization has led major canvassing efforts to support Democratic candidates like Cortez Masto and Gov. Steve Sisolak. ... S...

The Republicans appear to be leading in every major race and Democrat incumbents look deeply underwater.  This race is looking like one that could flip control of the Senate.

  Laxalt still trails the Democrat incumbent by a substantial margin.

 Ed Morrissey: Last week Ruy Teixeira  warned  that Democrats were facing a problem in Nevada where Catherine Cortez Masto needs to hold on to her seat if Dems are to have any chance of holding the Senate. In particular, polling suggested Democrats were losing ground with an important part of their coalition: Hispanic voters. A new poll by Suffolk University/USA Today found that both Cortez Masto and Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak are in trouble. Both are running behind Republican challengers in head to head matchups thanks to inflation and Joe Biden’s rock bottom  approval rating in the state . The early April survey of 500 likely midterm election voters counts among the first to show how far U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and Gov. Steve Sisolak might sink under the weight of rising gas prices and inflation. The latter issue, respondents said, was by far the most important on their minds, followed by jobs and the state of the economy. Only 35% of those polled appro...

 Daily Caller: The Republican Party’s goal of taking back the Senate in November could hinge on the ousting of a vulnerable incumbent Democrat in the battleground state of Nevada. The state, which President Joe Biden won by a little over two points, is represented by Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and is rated by Cook Political Report as a toss-up. A March poll by Democratic Blueprint Polling showed Cortez Masto trailing former Republican Attorney General Adam Laxalt by seven points. Laxalt , the leading candidate in the Republican primary, told the Daily Caller News Foundation that Cortez Masto is in danger of losing reelection because, unlike Democratic Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin, she has “not broken from her party in any major issues” during her tenure, despite Nevada’s moderate views. “I think that’s why we’ve got such an amazing opportunity and such a great contrast with her,” Laxalt said. “This is a pretty centrist state.” (RELATED: Democrats’ Worst Night...

 Epoch Times: Nevada Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) records suggest that nearly 4,000 legal and illegal aliens cast votes in the 2020 general election, according to a  sworn affidavit  filed with a state court. As part of legislation enacted by the state’s Democrats, the DMV automatically registers to vote every person who obtains a driver’s license. In Nevada, both legal and illegal non-citizens can obtain driver’s licenses and identification cards. Jesse Kamzol, an expert engaged by the Republican Party as part of an election lawsuit, matched the 110,164 non-citizen records from the DMV, which were obtained through a subpoena by the state’s Republican Party, against Nevada’s voter file. He determined, with “high to mid-high confidence,” that 6,260 non-citizens were registered to vote and 3,987 non-citizens had voted. While he noted that the number may contain false positives due to limited information, Kamzol said the matches were nonetheless sign...

  Epoch Times: Arizona GOP Says Ballots Were ‘Altered and Removed’ from Trump’s Total Firm That Conducted ‘Audit’ of Georgia Voting Machines Has Long History With Dominion Voting Machine USB Drives Had Totals Altered Overnight, Witness in Nevada Election Contest Alleges There appear to be many questions raised about the voting in swing states and much of them are related to the Dominion system and operations. Democrats and their media cohorts appear to be much too dismissive of these allegations.

 PJ Media: An audit of 1,400 mail-in ballots in Nevada found that two percent were cast by voters who never actually received a ballot in the mail, and one percent were cast by voters who say they didn’t even vote. The audit,  which was conducted by Baselice and Associates for the Trump campaign’s legal team in Nevada, found that 579,000 absentee ballots  were returned  to the state by Election Day. If three percent of those ballots were improperly cast, that comes to 17,300 illegal votes. The Trump campaign was also granted the right to inspect voting machine used during the election, though they’ve yet to be granted a proper inspection. “Machines were not usable, and we were not able to make a determination about the accuracy and integrity of the election process based on this inspection,” Trump’s legal team  said . “We are entitled to a computer forensic inspection in accordance with the judge’s order. We were prevented from doing one. This was a digital...

Democrat vote-buying scam in Nevada revealed.  The gift cards are a clear violation of Federal law.  The cards were used in other states as well including Texas.

 Epoch Times: An audit of 1,440 Nevada mail-ballots suggests that 2 percent of the ballots were cast on behalf of voters who never received a ballot in the mail and one percent cast on behalf of voters who said did not vote at all. Baselice and Associates conducted the audit for the legal team representing the Trump campaign in Nevada. The firm called up the voters identified on each mail ballot. The findings suggest that 3 percent of the ballots were cast by someone other than the person identified on the ballot. The legal team presented the findings during a call with reporters on Dec. 2 during which attorneys previewed the outlines of a lawsuit pending in Carson City, Nevada. A court hearing on the case is scheduled for Dec. 3. The judge in the case ordered on Dec. 3 that the Trump team be allowed to inspect election machines. The legal team said that while they requested to perform a forensic audit, Clark County officials merely provided “a guided tour.” “Machines were not u...

 Epoch Times: A lawyer for President Donald Trump ’s campaign said the team is preparing to file a lawsuit soon alleging that 40,000 people voted twice in Nevada, which, if true, could potentially erase Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden’s lead. Trump attorney Jesse R. Binnall, speaking to Fox Business Wednesday, said that they found evidence of “real voter fraud” including “thousands of thousands of instances” in Nevada that will be submitted to a court in the Silver State. There are “instances of 40,000-plus people who have voted twice in the election,” Binnall remarked. ... Binnall, who helped defend retired Lt. Gen Michael Flynn, also said that some people who said they were recorded as having voted via mail never received ballots and told Trump’s team that they didn’t vote. ... In an affidavit, Morgan said she spotted a “historically strange” increase in voter registrations missing the sex and age of the voter, as well as registrations where casinos and RV parks are ...

  The Hill: Nevada Republican Party sends criminal referral to DOJ alleging thousands of cases of voter fraud ...   “Our lawyers just sent a criminal referral to AG Barr regarding at least 3,062 instances of voter fraud,” the Nevada Republican Party  wrote in a tweet . “We expect that number to grow substantially. Thousands of individuals have been identified who appear to have violated the law by casting ballots after they moved from NV.”   ...   The Washington Post  reported that  the party’s lawyers sent Barr a list of voters identified by cross-checking voter registration names and addresses with the National Change of Address database. ...  In other states, people are finding votes cast by dead people by checking data bases.  While Republicans sometimes joke about dead Democrats voting, it appears that many did support Biden if these reports are accurate.
