Nevada is a key battleground state in the West.
Republican candidates carried the state for 20 years from 1968 to 1988 before Bill Clinton captured Nevada for the Democrats in 1992 and 1996.
The state went red the two elections after that, backing George W. Bush both times, but President Obama claimed the Silver State the last two times out.
