Early voting blog is updated.

With Clark Dem firewall approaching unprecedented 90K voters after overnight update, Trump's path in NV leads off a mail ballot cliff.

The dice are cast, and they look like snake eyes for the GOP.

RALSTON REPORTS
The early voting blog

By Jon Ralston

Updated, 8:30 AM, 11/1/20

The Clark Dem firewall is now above 89,500 with a big new batch of mail that posted overnight. This is well above the 73,000-ballot firewall of 2016 and even above the 87,600 extrapolated number taking into account the increase in voters on the rolls since four years ago.

If you look at the math below, it already was very difficult for Trump. Now he has less of a chance to win than he does of getting a gaming license in Nevada.

I don't know how much more mail will be returned before Tuesday, nor do I know how many ballots will be rejected (the rate so far shows it doesn’t change the lead very much). But the dice are cast, and they look like snake eyes for the GOP.

More than 400,000 ballots have been cast by mail in Clark County and more than 775,000 overall. The number of votes left for Election Day continues to dwindle, and the chances of an overwhelming GOP turnout to turn this around becomes less and less likely.

1. Sorry, snake eyes is bad?

2. I rolled snake eyes at a craps table once...

Everybody lost and I left in shame

3. Yes. It's craps, and means you lose everything.

5. Oh, yeah. It's a bust. A loser.

6. Learn something new ( possibly useless) everyday.

Thanks for your Dodo posts. Always lighten the day.

7. My pleasure. They keep me sane, too. Ralston frequently uses gambling jargon--a hazard of

living in Las Vegas, I guess.

4. Adelson will have a sad, all that money flushed on a one term loser...tsk, tsk.
