Votes are still being counted in Nevada. According to a polling research firm, mail-in votes in Clark County—the state’s most populous area—have been breaking by two to one for Democrats.
Less than twenty-four hours after the polls closed in Nevada, with key Senate races called in states across the country, Joseph Gloria took theat the Clark County Election Center, in Las Vegas. Tens of thousands of ballots remained uncounted, Gloria, the local registrar of voters, said, and more than five thousand had yet to be reviewed for signature matches. “That number will continue to grow until we’re finished processing mail ballots,” he added.
Democrats hope the remaining mail-in ballots will help Cortez Masto erase her opponent’s lead. Matt Barreto, the co-founder of the polling firm BSP Research, noted that mail-in votes in Clark County have been breaking by two to one for the Democrat. By Friday, Barreto expects Laxalt’s lead to vanish. Laxalt himself has offered a different prediction, focussing instead on his campaign’s sweeping victories across rural counties.
Tens of thousands of mail-in ballots are still being counted in Washoe, and electoral officials estimate the majority will be tallied by the end of the day on Friday. “Please be patient,” Jamie Rodriguez, the county’s interim registrar, told reporters. “We don’t want to do it fast; we want to do it right.” As in Clark County, Barreto predicts that mail-in ballots will break for Cortez Masto by two to one.
