LAS VEGAS — It didn’t take long for Nevada Democrats’ redistricting maneuvering to pay off.
A year after the Democrat-controlled Legislature redrew the state’s political boundaries, Democrats defended all three of the competitive congressional districts in Southern Nevada while also expanding their majorities in both chambers, including regaining a supermajority in the state Assembly.
And they did it in a year where Republicans won the Nevada’s governor’s race and were expected by pundits to make congressional and legislative gains in Nevada and across the country.
