About 2016 United States presidential election in Nevada in brief

The 2016 United States presidential election in Nevada was held on November 8, 2016. Hillary Clinton won with a 47. 92% popular vote plurality over Donald Trump’s 45. 5%. All of Nevada’s 6 electoral votes were assigned to Clinton. Trump became the first Republican since William Howard Taft in 1908 to win the presidency without Nevada, and the first since William McKinley in 1900 to do so without carrying Washoe County. This is also the first and most recent cycle since the 1976 election that the state has voted for the losing presidential candidate. The 2016 Nevada Democratic caucuses took place on February 20 in the U.S. state of Nevada. With all other candidates having dropped out of the race ahead of the Nevada caucuses, the two remaining candidates were Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.

The county conventions on April 2, 2016, resulted in more Sanders delegates than Clinton delegates being sent to the state convention in May. The state convention was held in May as the final stage of the delegate selection process. Supports of Senator Sanders were angered when Party officials declined to accept the credentials of close to 60 pro-Sanders delegates. Nevada Democratic Party Chairwoman, Roberta Lange, allegedly received numerous death threats and threats to the lives of her family and grandchildren. At the convention, Sanders supporters protested until the staff cancelled the event. The event was later criticized as being violent, although there is no evidence that violence occurred.
