LAS VEGAS—Triple-tier battleground state Nevada’s two-week early voting period ended Nov. 1 with Republicans turning out in far higher numbers than Democrats while also posting significant gains in registered voters.

Those trends have GOP boosters confident former President Donald Trump could be the first Republican to win the Silver State since 2004. Challenger Sam Brown could unseat Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nevada), and at least one Democratic-held Las Vegas-area congressional seat could be flipped in the Nov. 5 election.
