		<description>&lt;i&gt;Personally, I am kind of doubtful that it&#039;ll wind up being that close. &lt;/i&gt;

I agree. 

&lt;i&gt;Maybe this is just a gut feeling, but if Harris manages to win all three of the Big Blue Wall states, she seems very likely to win at least one more of the other battlegrounds (probably Nevada). &lt;/i&gt; 

In the latest polls I&#039;ve seen, Senator Jacky Rosen (D) is consistently running around 7-13 points ahead of her challenger, Sam Brown (R), but Nevadans are notorious ticket splitters with both senators being Democrats while the governor is a Republican, so the presidential polls are much closer. 

The Right to Abortion Initiative being on the ballot in Nevada could help boost turnout for Democrats: 

&lt;blockquote&gt;Question 6: Should the Nevada Constitution be amended to create an individual’s fundamental right to an abortion, without interference by state or local governments, whenever the abortion is performed by a qualified healthcare professional until fetal viability or when necessary to protect the health or life of the pregnant individual at any point during the pregnancy? &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Hell, yes, because interference by state or local government officials who are dumber than a bag of hammers and unqualified to make medical decisions is beyond stupid.</description>
