For the second month running, the Nevada Democratic Party has increased voter share while Republican Party share declines and Non-Partisan gains slow. This pattern is apparent in both voter share and rate of growth. While I believe it’s too early to declare a new trend, I think November numbers show growing interest in the upcoming Democratic presidential caucus.
