Nevada Race Even: Hech v. Masto for US Senate

      Well, Tahoma folks, when you gaze east across the lake, what do you see?  A tight race?  Actually, you just see the opposite shoreline of the Silver State, out neighbor(s).   But, as we know from local media, the Senate race for retiring former pugilist/ jack Mormon Senate minority leader Harry Reid's seat is being hotly contested.  Mr. Obama has focused on this race, seeing this as a stepping stone to Democratic control of the upper house of Congress.    Mr. Trump appears to be losing ground, especially among women voters in the state.  Ms. Masto is expected to do well among Latino voters, although the number of new voters in the group is not great.
     Pundits write that the "Reid" machine is working furiously to swing voters to the Democratic candidate.  If the voters elect Ms. Masto, she would become the first Latina in the Senate.  This race underscores the ambiguity of the outcome on November 8th.  Polls indicate a victory for Mrs. Clinton, but the Congressional outcome is far from decided.   The House has many more Republican seats in play during this cycle-25.   The Senate enough to change the balance to a Democratic majority.  Union mambers in Las Vegas are out in force to vote against Trump.  Many of its members work for one of Mr. Trump's properties in the gambling mecca.  They claim he is not the best employer in town.   This outpouring of Democratic voters will aid Ms. Masto's efforts.
      These last 2 weeks of campaigning will tilt many races, justifying the heavy spending across the political spectrum.
