Joe Biden is counting on Nevada. Has the COVID-19 pandemic hurt his chances?

On a blazing hot afternoon, two canvassers recently went door to door in a working-class neighborhood of east Las Vegas, bearing masks, campaign fliers and the weight of Democratic worries.

Up and down stairs, across baking driveways, past thirsty lawns, Maria Magana and Atilano Salgado took turns asking voters in English, Spanish and a combination if they would support Joe Biden for president.

"Perfecto," Magana responded when the answer was yes. Then she entered the information on a tablet cradled in her arm

Is that part of Vegas similar to East L.A.?

It’s gonna be close. Something like 500,000 Nevada residents are at risk of eviction. Trump should do a stop, when he is able, to remind people that he has done everything he could to expand unemployment insurance and halt evictions.

Sleepy Joe just started building a ground game in NV

a lot of right-leaning indies and L’s in NV, plus Latinos think Joe is old and sick

that’s why the crook Sisolak slammed through mail-in voting

I wouldn’t count on Nevada. It’s got Chicago-level corruption.

No state has rigged the voting as much as NV. Creepy Joe should have nothing to worry about there but it would seem that he does.

Suckmysak killed Vegas, so hopefully all those workers that are financially hurting or totally wrecked will vote correctly this time.

I refuse to believe that the American people want to be locked down in their homes forever..that is what the Dems want, if we are locked in forever, we have to rely on Govt for food, for basic survival, that is what the left is counting on

“However, the great strength of Democrats — the work of political foot soldiers like Magana, 45, who helps tidy the casino at the MGM Grand hotel, and Salgado, 35, a line cook at Guy Fieri’s Vegas Kitchen & Bar — has been significantly reduced as a result of the pandemic.”

I’m a Nevadan. The Harry Reid vote machine is broken this year and the Culinary Union is nowhere. Dem Governor Sisolak is despised because he destroyed the economy with his Covid lockdown. Nevada might be a big surprise.

So does Philly and Trump still won Pennsylvania despite Philly.
Trump had three great rallies in Nevada just over a week ago. Trump is fighting hard for Nevada. Slow Joe is stuck in his basement.

My neighborhood has a lot of Biden/Harris signs. It has NO Trump signs. Of course, who the hell wants their home and cars vandalized?

Years ago I put a sign up in my daughters' window for the Sheriff I supported. Within two days, that window got a bunch of eggs thrown at it and I took it down for their safety.

In this home my grandchild has a window facing the front yard. Just can't risk that shit. Now THAT is FACISM to me. THAT IS SOME NAZI SHIT.

Early in person voting starts the 17th of October and runs through the 30th. We will take advantage of that. In our neighborhood the Trum/Pence signs vs. byeDUHn/hVrris is about 10-1 for PDJT. For the rest of Reno? Sure seem to be a lot of younger (30s-50s)in favor of PDJT. Of course some sections of town there’s no hope for. The big stumbling block for PDJT is the unions (and harry reed influence) in Vegas.

Mail in is NOT mandatory. But OMG! The constant barrage of byeDUHn/hVrris ads would turn me off if there was even a chance of us supporting him. Not that there is but the ads are like ‘noseeums’ in Florida.

I live in Vegas. The casinos have cut back on their workforce. I wonder how many union workers who would vote for the Democrats have moved out of Nevada.

What, are they looking for illegals to vote for Biden. Sure sounds like it.
