Clark County – Voters in Nevada’s largest county delivered a clear signal of political independence during the 2024 general election. More than 26,300 individuals who cast ballots for President Donald Trump also selected Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen in her successful re-election bid.[1] This crossover represented roughly 5 percent of Trump’s nearly 500,000 supporters in the county, according to anonymized cast vote records released by local election officials. The pattern highlighted the complex dynamics at play in a region long considered a Democratic stronghold but increasingly competitive.
Cast Vote Records Expose Crossover Voting
Election officials in Clark County maintain detailed cast vote records, which capture individual ballot choices without revealing voter identities. These files allowed analysts to identify overlaps between presidential and Senate races.[1] The data confirmed that over 26,300 ballots included votes for both Trump and Rosen.
About 43 percent of these split-ticket voters submitted their ballots by mail. Trump outperformed his Republican Senate counterpart, Sam Brown, across the county, yet thousands still crossed party lines for Rosen. Meanwhile, Rosen and her Democratic presidential running mate, Kamala Harris, each secured just over 50 percent of the local vote in a tightly contested field.
