Trump and Harris Odds in Nevada Flip Flop as Election Day Data Jolts Prediction Markets
Predictions for the Nevada presidential election shifted dramatically as data from early voting showed unexpectedly high Democratic turnout. Kamala Harris temporarily gained the lead on blockchain-based prediction markets, with 55% of betting volume, following reports from Clark County, where voter turnout was almost equal between parties. As of 11:50 a.m. ET, Trump regained a slight advantage with 56% of the betting volume. Another prediction market also noted a brief lead for Harris at 10 a.m. PST, where she had a 52.5% chance of winning, but Trump soon reclaimed the top spot at 53%. Data revealed that registered Democrats constituted about 31.5% of the voters, whereas Republicans accounted for 29.9%, with other voters making up 38.5%. This data contrasted sharply with previous elections, signaling a potential shift in voter sentiment within Clark County, home to 70% of Nevada's population and crucial for electoral votes. The state polls close at 7 p.m. PST, and no official results from the Associated Press are yet available.
