2000
Overview Bush won Nevada with a plurality of 21,597 votes (3.55 percentage points). He carried 16 of 17 counties; Gore carried only Clark County (Las Vegas). Clark County accounted for 62.7% of the votes cast in the presidential race (382,198 votes), and Gore won there with a plurality of 25,168 votes. John Ensign's strong showing in the U.S. Senate race may have helped boost Bush. Also in Bush's advantage were the facts that Nevada is a Western state, and that Gov. Guinn's time in office helped prepare the ground by taking away some traditional Democratic issues. One major issue for both sides in Nevada was the proposal for interim storage of high-level nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain; Gore and Bush took positions against this, while saying they would rely on science for a decision about permanent storage.
