Nevada was considered a battleground state due to the close victory margins. The primaries were held on August 15. Nevada was one of seven states in which the party that won the state's popular vote did not win a majority of seats in 2006, the other states being Indiana, New Mexico, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, and Wisconsin. 2 Overview Statewide PartyCandidatesVotesSeatsNo. Number %No. Number+/– %Democratic3287,87950.08133.33Republican3260,31745.29266.67Independent American313,1072.2800.0Libertarian28,0001.3900.0Independent15,5240.9600.0Total12574,827100.03100.0 Popular vote #ddd 600px 410px Democratic Democratic Party (United States) 50.08 Republican Republican Party (United States) 45.29 Independent American Independent American Party of Nevada 2.28 Libertarian Libertarian Party (United States) 1.39 Other #777777 0.96 House seats #ddd 600px 410px Republican Republican Party (United States) 66.67 Democratic Democratic Party (United States) 33.33 By district Results of the 2006 United States House of Representatives elections in Nevada by district:https://clerk.house.gov/member_info/electionInfo/2006/2006Stat.htm#stateNV 2006 Election Statistics clerk.house.gov 19 April 2018 DistrictDemocraticRepublicanOthersTotalResult Votes % Votes % Votes % Votes %District 1 85,025 64.84% 40,917 31.20% 5,182 3.95% 131,124 100.0% Democratic HoldDistrict 2 104,593 44.94% 117,168 50.35% 10,963 4.71% 232,724 100.0% Republican HoldDistrict 3 98,261 46.57% 102,232 48.46% 10,486 4.97% 210,979 100.0% Republican HoldTotal 287,879 50.08% 260,317 45.29% 26,631 4.63% 574,827 100.0% District 1 Incumbent Democrat Shelley Berkley, who had represented the district since 1999, ran for re-election.

Rather than calling for a recount — the typical route for candidates who challenge close election outcomes — Angle demanded to have the entire primary invalidated and held again. CQPolitics.com noted "Some have charged Angle’s decision to call for a special primary was based on economics: Had she demanded a recount, Angle would have been responsible for the cost of the procedure unless the result vindicated her request for it. That would not be the case if the courts were to order a primary do-over."

Derby had $444,000 on hand as of July 26, out of $748,000 raised. Heller had 260,000 left — and that was with 20 days left to go before the actual primary — out of $904,000 in total receipts, which included $108,000 in funds from his personal accounts. In late August, CQPolitics.com analyzed the race: "Although the 2nd District generally leans Republican, Derby's competitive position in the general election was already strengthened by the fact that she was unopposed in the Aug. 15 Democratic primary while the Republicans staged a bruising battle among three well-known candidates."

"Jill Derby was already doing everything right, and then she gets this gift," he said. "How do you turn a safe district into a competitive one? Fight among yourselves. Republicans here have won because they've stayed united and they continue to turn out. Now you've got partisan infighting, and Adams' leadership is aiding and abetting that - in an already bad year for Republicans."
