CARSON CITY(AP) — Republicans recaptured three seats in Nevada’s state Assembly, ensuring that Democrats lose the veto-proof majority they would need to approve new taxes unilaterally.

Former Assemblyman Richard McArthur, former Assemblywoman Jill Dickman and Andy Matthews won election in Las Vegas and Reno-area battleground districts. McArthur and Dickman regained seats that they lost in 2018 and 2016, respectively.

The three flipped Assembly seats will likely change dynamics when the Legislature reconvenes in 2021 to address the coronavirus pandemic, the state budget and redraws state legislative and congressional districts based on the 2020 census. The result is expected to add a degree of difficulty to Democrats’ plans to raise taxes on mining business to shore up pandemic-prompted deficits...

But those districts went against Trump I presume?

Imagine that!

Great to hear! Hard to imagine all this solid support down ballot yet President Trump lost. He clearly helped them get elected. Something stinks to high heaven.

[Deplorable American1776]

Hmmm, and let me guess, Biden won those districts! I have oceanfront property in Nevada to sell, cheap!! 😀

What does a couple more seats matter? Republicans control both the House and Senate in Pa., Michigan, Georgia and Arizona. How is that working out for us?

This is the craziest, crapiest fraud I have ever witnessed. President Trump losing on the top of these ballot, and down below, on the lower races, OTOH, Republicans winning. You would think if they did a better job, the Demoncraps would have given the Dems a clean sweep!? (Ticket splitting?)

It's a lot more complicated and difficult to change every downticket vote, vs just the top President votes. Machine software can be the same everywhere, instead of having to be written specifically for each precinct. Manual stuff like swapping mail-ins or stuffing the box, it takes a lot of time to fill in all those bubbles, instead of just a single one on each ballot.
