With early voting finished and tallied, registered Democrats in Nevada have taken a 46,000-vote lead over Republican voters heading into Election Day.
The US Supreme Court on Saturday reinstated an Arizona law that makes it a felony to collect early ballots, dealing a blow to Democratic get out the vote efforts just days before the presidential election.
Despite last-minute good news from the FBI that saw Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s name cleared over a new batch of her emails linked to her private email server, the gridlock in US politics exposed during the presidential campaign trail has already left deep dissatisfaction among the electorate, according to polls and voters.

In a cramped office strewn with hand-written signs setting door-knocking goals and tracking early votes, Artie Blanco reminded a roomful of Californians why they had shown up early in Nevada on the final Saturday before the election. "Nevada is what’s going to make the difference,” said Blanco, who works for a labor-backed advocacy organization called For Our Future. “This is where the wall will be to keep Trump out of the White House.”
As a historian of women and clothing, I see Clinton’s pantsuit – and those who criticize it – as the latest chapter in a long history of people telling women what they can and can’t wear.

Why does the pantsuit rankle so many Americans?

Business as usual on the Colorado River may be about to come to a screeching halt.
One of the worst recorded droughts in human history has stretched water supplies thin across the far-reaching river basin, which serves 40 million people.

The way U.S. presidential candidates and presidents dress may not be decisive in determining who wins. But perhaps it’s not inconsequential either. Maybe it shapes public opinion in a subtle way. KNPR's State of Nevada talked with Deirdre Clemente, who teaches history at UNLV, about what a candidate's or a president's clothing says about him or her. Her area is 20th Century American culture with a focus on fashion and clothing. She is also the author of "Dress Casual: How College Students Redefined American Style."

Lucky Dragon will be the Strip’s first new-from-the-ground-up casino since 2010 when it opens on December 3. It’s also the Strip’s first casino designed from scratch for Asian customers, with a particular eye on Chinese players. Fittingly, it’s financed largely from Asia through the U.S. government’s EB-5 program that offers U.S. residency to investors that pony up $500,000 for eligible projects. But unlike most casinos on the Strip looking for Asian customers, Lucky Dragon isn’t targeting visitors from Asia. Its primary market is Asians already living in North America.
