Less than 3 percent have voted in city of Las Vegas

After three days of early voting, 3,766 people have voted in the city of Las Vegas and 2,804 by mail. That's a smidgen under 3 percent in that closely watched mayoral race.

If this pace keeps up -- considering more folks are likely to vote in the second week -- it's possible early and mail turnout could be 15 percent and overall voting could get up close to 25 percent, and 50,000 voters are possible.
