The Nevada Democratic Party has a poll observer program underway, spokeswoman Helen Kalla said. Keelie Broom, spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee’s Nevada operation, did not return a request for comment.

Students get out to vote

On Thursday morning a line of more than 50 students and faculty stretched outside a Lied Library study room at UNLV.

For many students, it was an exciting moment: their first opportunity to vote.

Samah Ghosn, a freshman computer science major, said he is fired up to elect Democrats after witnessing the confirmations of Secretary of Education Betsy Devos and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

“I think having a Congress that would be more of a check on Trump is important,” said Ghosn, 18.

Derrick Deluca, a senior history major, said he is a registered Democrat but voted Republican because he wants to open his own music studio.

“From a lot of owners I talk to, they are burdened from taxation,” said Deluca, 28. “So one of the main reasons I’ve decided to change my vote is a fiscal standpoint.”

Other voters weren’t so sure-footed.

Sophomore computer science major Jessica Lin said she was confident in voting for Democratic congressional candidates because the party is more aligned with her on social issues like abortion and the environment. But the 19-yearold said she was not sure if she had enough information to vote in down-ballot races or on Nevada’s ballot questions.

“You want to make a right choice to benefit everyone, but in reality there’s no choice that will benefit everyone,” she said.
