Despite Republicans winning 56% of the popular vote among all State Assembly Districts, Democrats gained two seats, winning a supermajority of 28 out of 42 seats. The discrepancy is explained by Democrats' not fielding a candidate in seven safely Republican seats and lower turnout in Democratic-won districts.^[2] Democrats won 83% of Assembly districts in Clark County with only 52% of the popular vote in the county.^[3]
