Imagine that, there are 400,000 ACTIVE registered republicans & in 2008 a 'good year', a Total 44,324 voted. And less this year.

Nevada is the fifth state in the nation, and the first Western state, to choose among the candidates in the Republican presidential field. Only registered Republicans can participate in this contest. There are 400,000 active registered Republican voters in Nevada, and 10-15 percent of them are expected to participate in Saturday's events.

Interesting to note the number of voters that voted in 2008 & yesterday. Amid all claims to get Obama out of office I would think there would be MANY MORE voting yesterday, yet so far it doesn't appear to be the case.

Romney's win in Nevada extended the lead that he then held in total delegates. After coming last in this caucus, Duncan Hunter withdrew his bid for the nomination.

Although delegates were not pledged to candidates until the state convention, the news media allocated delegates proportionally for reporting purposes.

100% of precincts reporting[10]
Candidate Votes Percentage Delegates

Mitt Romney 22,649 51.1% 18

Ron Paul 6,087 13.73% 4

John McCain 5,651 12.75% 4

Mike Huckabee 3,616 8.16% 2

Fred Thompson 3,521 7.94% 2

Rudy Giuliani 1,910 4.31% 1

Duncan Hunter 890 2.01% 0

Total 44,324 100% 31
