As Nevada goes, so goes the rest of the nation?
Officials say Nevada is increasingly being viewed as a presidential bellwether because it has one of the best election track records over the last 92 years.
Nevada has voted for the winner in all but one presidential election since 1912, in 1976 when voters narrowly favored incumbent Republican Gerald Ford over Democrat Jimmy Carter.
Overall, Nevada has a 25 -10 record in voting for presidential candidates since becoming a state in 1864.
