What's really like to work on an election campaign: the days fly by

And after what has seemed an endless season of campaign toil, the election -- the drop dead moment  -- looms. This morning the online newsletter from the Nevada Independent laid out our future.

Days until first rural ballots are sent out: 4

Days until Washoe County mail ballots are sent out: 18

Days until Clark County mail ballots are sent out: 28

Days until early voting begins: 31

Days until the 2022 general election: 48

Some 75-80 percent of the Nevada vote will be cast in Clark County; that's the Las Vegas area. Nearly fifteen percent more will come from Washoe County where Reno is located. The rest will be from the deeply red "rural" counties.

Nothing to do but redouble our efforts.
