“This is not partisan; it is patriotism, a word that has been shorn of all meaning by those cloaking themselves in the flag to undermine democracy. After following this mendacity cycle after cycle, the endgame is no mystery.” My column on the threat to democracy.

OPINION by Jon Ralston: Trump’s decade-long campaign of lies about election fraud are coming to fruition in an electoral power-grab. Resistance isn’t a partisan act — it’s your patriotic duty. Read it here: thenevadaindependent.com/article/opinio…

Biden gave one of the worst debate performances in history. Trump: Hold my beer.

"We solve our disputes at the ballot box," says Kevin McCarthy, who tried to overturn what happened at the ballot box.

Biden is up by 11.4K right now in NV. Dems are going to win these mail ballots coming in from Election Day and yesterday -- 63K. And they should win them decisively. That leaves 60K provisionals, which have been evenly split. I see no path left for Trump here.

Harry Reid lost this seat to Paul Laxalt in 1974. Reid won it in 1986 as Laxalt retired. He anointed CCM as successor in 2016. Now she has held Reid's seat by defeating Laxalt's grandson and preventing Reid's nemesis, Mitch McConnell, from becoming majority leader. #WeMatter

The day after the debate, Elizabeth Warren bought a full page ad in Sheldon Adelson’s newspaper saying Sheldon Adelson will pay $2.3 billion the first year of her wealth tax. I think that’s called chutzpah.

New numbers just dropped: Republicans won early in-person voting again by 2-to-1, picking up 8,000 ballots. About 400,000 people have voted, and with mail, GOP statewide lead almost 20,000 ballots. Unheard of at this point in any other presidential cycle. Blog update coming.

We project that one of the worst election deniers in the country, Jim Marchant, has been defeated in the NV SOS race. This is a huge victory for democracy in Nevada.

New Nevada numbers! I care, even if you don't: Biden now up to 31,000-vote lead, above 50 percent. I don't care what you say: #WeMatter
