On Saturday, Democrats were officially projected to maintain control of the Senate with Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto being declared the winner against Republican Adam Laxalt in Nevada. It wasn't merely that this race projection dashed Republican hopes of taking control of the chamber, but that this specific race was a disappointing loss.
Cortez Masto was consistently considered one of the most vulnerable incumbents, if not the most vulnerable incumbent. This was the case among Democratic incumbents, but of either party as well.
Further, Laxalt had held public office previously, as the attorney general after Cortez Masto. He ran for governor in 2018 against Democrat Steve Sisolak, but did not win that race. The candidate quality factor that some attach to other candidates who had never held public office before doesn't so much apply here.
Laxalt seemed to have enjoyed a polling advantage, too. RealClearPolitics had Laxalt with a +3.4 lead, regarding the seat as a "Toss Up" and predicting a "GOP Pick Up." Decision Desk HQ also had the seat as a "Toss Up," despite placing a heavy emphasis on the incumbency advantage. Laxalt even surpassed Cortez Masto in his chances of winning that race leading up to the election.
Sen. Cortez Masto may have benefited from a campaign visit from former President Barack Obama, just a week before the election.

It’s not about messaging anymore. It’s about ballot collection.
Learn it. Live it.
The answer is in the question.
Cheating, fraud. End of story
Who counted the votes?
Fraud!
Is this a trick question?
They let the Democrats count the votes ,LOL
Nevada was one of the few states where polling in 2020 underestimated Democratic support. I am sure that was a factor here.
Union goons bangin’ on doors and calling folks 24/7 to “cure” ballots may have been a factor.
Several problems, first, Laxalt was not trying very hard, gave up without even requesting a recount. Second, his own family did not support his candidacy. Third, it appears that he is related directly or indirectly to Cortez. He was a lazy campaigner, and the writing was on the wall from day one he was going to lose.
Because the Democrats counted the votes.
Ballot harvesting in NV, MI, AZ, PA, NH is what cost us. Without that, Oz, Masters, Lake Laxalt, Walker and a few others win, and that would have been a successful election.
“Why Did Republicans Lose the Nevada Senate Race?”
Because DemonRats cheat!
“Why Did Republicans Lose the Nevada Senate Race?”
They won the election and lost the count.
It was stolen. Next.
nv voters are gonna have to take a lot more pain
before they say
this aint right
Of course it is fraud but the GOPe will try and blame Trump. I was born in the freest country that ever existed but will die in chains, soft chains sure but chains nevertheless.
Maybe someone with brains at the USPS can explain why it took four days to deliver first class in state mail. Over 10k ballots were delivered on Saturday and did anybody check the date stamped on the envelope.
