Good morning from snowy northern Nevada! No new results were posted between 2:30 am and now (thankfully 🙏🏼) but we’re expecting a lot of mail to be processed and counted today. Follow for updates 🧵

The Associated Press has called #NV02 for incumbent Republican Mark Amodei. He easily defeated long shot candidate Elizabeth Mercedes Krause to win a 7th term mynews4.com/news/local/nev…

Eddie Lorton, challenger to Hillary Schieve in the Reno mayor’s race, trails by ~7k votes and posted this update on Facebook this morning.

“Please pray that we can overcome … Hope for a miracle in our City.”

Looking through all the northern Nevada #nvleg races, it looks like AD25 is the only one where either party has a good chance to flip.

Selena La Rue Hatch (D) leads Sam Kumar (R) by 165 votes.

Seat was formerly held by retiring Republican Assm. Jill Tolles

Looks like election workers are already starting to process mail ballots at the Washoe County registrar's office, from their live stream:

Washoe has posted the party breakdown of Election Day mail ballots. Republicans actually out voted Dems by mail yesterday by 265

5,961 Democrats
6,226 Republicans
6,292 Nonpartisans/others

Hearing that Washoe County ROV will likely give an update around 2p.

Clark County is scheduled to give an update on their ballot counting process at 11:30a, per @brettforrest89.

Republicans are currently leading in all the statewide offices, except for AG Aaron Ford who is up by 4.3% on Sigal Chattah.

LG Lisa Cano Burkhead and controller candidate Ellen Spiegel have the biggest margins to try to make up in mail votes, both down by roughly 7%.

@brettforrest89 Washoe ROV update has been moved up to 1p this afternoon. Of course, follow for live updates!

@brettforrest89 Got around to compiling Washoe County midterm turnout % by year. Record to beat (at least this century) is 70.13% turnout back in 2018.
