The Secretary of State Office has published the Nevada results of the 2006 midterm election and, by and large, Nevada is a Red stronghold which plans to stay that way a while longer, even if the margin is narrowing.

The Short of the major Races:

Ensign(R) took the Senate seat.
In the House of Representatives Shelly Berkley(D),Dean Heller(R) and Jon Porter(R) (Porter with 48.44% to Tessa Hafen's 46.59%) took the Seats.

Our new Governor Jim Gibbons survived the trio of scandals to take a narrow victor with 47% over Titus with only 44%. Brian Krolicki(R) is his Lieutenant.

Democrats won big with Ross Miller(D) over Danny Tarkanian for Secretary of State and Kate Marshall(D) as State Treasurer.

For the State Ballot Measure Questions the short of it is:

1. Education First - YES
2. Eminent Domain modification - YES*
3. REMOVED
4. Smoking Question the Bar and Taverns backed - NO
5. Smoking Ban the health industry backed - YES
6. Minimum Wage Increase - YES
7. Legalize Marijuana - NO
8. Used vehicle tax exemption - YES*
9. Constitution Alteration to the appointment of University Regents - NO? (No 50.67% YES 49.33)
10. Allow the legislature to call itself - NO
11. Increase to Pay for the legislature - NO

For the long of it I've created a color coded Nevada State Question voting chart with the early voting data from the Sec of State website with the winning answer color coded for each county, several of the question, such as #4 had a significant split between the rural and urban voting blocks.

*I believe the voters were duped into passing an amendment that will in fact benefit a small group rather then the majority... time will tell, I provided some of my reasoning for this earlier and will address these questions that passed at greater length in the future.
