In long Nevada early voting lines, enthusiasm and a sense of election's high stakes

Nevadans have a history of high turnouts for in-person early voting — the last two presidential elections saw 69 percent of the overall turnout coming from early voting, with only 8 percent of votes cast in 2012 and 6.5 percent in 2016 of those being mail votes. This is the first general election in which Nevada mailed ballots on such a large scale, and it comes on the heels of a mostly mail-in primary election.
