Nevada GOP turns in strong early vote tally

Republicans outperformed Democrats getting to the polls in Nevada, a promising sign for Republican tea party favorite Sharron Angle in her dead-heat race with Majority Leader Harry Reid, figures showed Monday.
Final tallies for two weeks of in-person voting and a preliminary count of mail-in ballots for the state's two most populous counties, Clark and Washoe, gave Democrats about a 9,000-voter edge.
The slim margin stands out because Democrats hold a 60,000-voter edge in statewide registration.
The figures provide only a barometer of party turnout, and it's far from conclusive with Election Day coming Tuesday.
Democrats accounted for 162,801 in-person early voters - or 43 percent of the total - just over the party's share of registration. But the GOP turned out 156,264 early voters, or 41 percent of the total - that's 4 percentage points higher than party's registration in Nevada.
Democrats held a 21,502-to-19,087 edge in mail-in ballots for the two counties. Statewide figures for mail-in ballots were not immediately available.
A succession of polls have found the race is a dead heat, and campaign officials on both sides predict a close finish.
