Nevada sees increase in active registered voters in January

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – Nevada Secretary of State Franciso Aguilar says the number of active registered voters grew by more than 9,000 between December and January, bringing the statewide total to slightly more than 1.9 million.

The Republican party saw the biggest increase with 6,749. Democrat active voters climbed by 1,757, with the number of voters registered as non-partisan growing by a little more than a thousand.

Despite the big bump in GOP voters, most of Nevada’s voters remain independent. Of the 1,933,056 active registered voters in the state:

637,227 are Nonpartisan (32.96%);
595,943 are Democrats (30.83%);
559,743 are Republicans (28.96%);
84,120 are members of the Independent American Party (4.35%);
16,296 are members of the Libertarian Party of Nevada (0.84%); and
39,727 are members of other minor political parties (2.06%).

It’s that majority of independent voters that makes Nevada a battleground state, simply because those registered non-partisans aren’t predictably voting along party lines. That means you can expect to see a lot of campaigning here as we move closer to the November 5 General Election.

Southern Nevada shelters brace for annual kitten season surge of newborn cats

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — As temperatures rise in Southern Nevada, animal shelters are bracing for the annual surge of newborn cats known as “kitten season.”

Kitten season happens every year between about March and October, when warmer weather leads community cats to breed, and shelters begin seeing little kittens trickle in.

Animal care officials urged residents who spot kittens in their neighborhoods to avoid intervening right away.

The best thing to do, they said, is to leave the kittens where they are because their mother is likely caring for them.

Even if the mother cat is not immediately visible, she may be nearby searching for food.

The mother cat is taking care of the kittens, and removing them can reduce their chances of survival.

BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT

Their best chance, officials said, is for the kittens to stay with their mom, who can provide nourishment.
