Nevada
Nevada gained statehood in October 1864, one of two states to join the Union during the Civil War. The state had three electoral votes through 1980. The population of the Silver State has more than tripled since 1980, including 35% growth between 2000 and 2010, bringing its number of electoral votes to six.
Although Republicans were dominant from the late 60s to late 80s, this influx of population has put Nevada squarely into the battleground state category. After voting Democrat from 2008 through 2020, Donald Trump flipped it back in 2024, defeating Kamala Harris by 3%.
The state has been an excellent bellwether over the past century. Since 1912, Nevadans have sided with the presidential election winner in every election ecept 1976 and 2016.
