About 2020 United States presidential election in Nevada in brief

The 2020 United States presidential election in Nevada was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. It pitted the Republican Party’s nominee, incumbent President Donald Trump, and running mate Vice President Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden. Biden carried Nevada by a 2. 4% margin over Trump, the same margin Hillary Clinton carried the state by in 2016. On September 7, 2019, the Nevada Republican Party became one of several state GOP parties to officially cancel their respective primaries and caucuses. The Nevada Democratic caucuses were held primarily on February 22, 2020, with early voting conducted from February 14 to 18. Bernie Sanders won the Nevada caucuses, with Joe Biden coming in second and Pete Buttigieg in third.

There were some controversies surrounding the outcome of the caucus, with forty percent of the precincts not reported, one day after voting. On November 5, Republican Party lawyers alleged voter fraud in at least 3,062 instances, causing it to be the center of many internet memes and other forms of humor and satire. The state’s three largest cities are also located in these counties: Las Vegas and Henderson in the former, and Reno in the latter. Most counties in the state of Nevada are rural, and voting heavily for Trump. However, Biden won the two most populous counties, Clark and Washoe, which make up almost 89% of Nevada’s population and thus effectively decided the election.
