By Doug Goodman -Founder & Executive Director Nevadans for Election Reform – December 1, 2021
Voters continued to shun both the Democratic and Republican Party with both major parties once again losing voter share in November (the GOP fell below thirty percent), with the combined voter share of those registered as Non-Partisan and “other” remaining the largest segment of active voters. However, November’s increase was solely accountable to Non-Partisan as the “other” category experienced a small decline in voter share across all tracked demographics.
