RENO, Nev. (KRNV & MyNews4.com) -- Compared to 2008, across the country, the 2012 election had a lower voter turnout, but that's not the case for Nevada.
Over 40,000 more Silver State voters turned in their voting card compared to four years ago.
Political analysts say the bump in voters is the affect of record breaking campaign ads in Nevada.
Nevada was a hotly contested battleground state, with both Obama and Romney campaigns making multiple trips to the state.
