Some things worth elaborating on: Our peak hospitalizations was 1,165 this summer on July 31. We're almost back at that number now with 1,157 hospitalizations. Clark hospitalizations are climbing too, but this surge is being fueled by Washoe.
Also though I tweet out yesterday's avg case number since today's is usually a little lower than we'd expect it to be b/c Washoe doesn't report until the afternoon... today's 7-day avg is already higher that yesterday's β 1,537, without Washoe even reporting.
The big jump in today's seven-day average in large part has to do with the fact that Carson City reported a record 351 (!!) new cases today. Previous record was 103. Confirmed the spike it primarily related to the outbreak at Warm Springs Correctional Center.
The numbers are not great! We've almost surpassed our record hospitalizations. We're breaking our record case numbers day after day...
Hi friends! What happened in the Clark County Commission District C race was not βlarge scale voter discrepancy.β There were 139 discrepancies in the race, which normally would not matter except the Democratic candidate in the race, Ross Miller, won by only 10 votes.
In total, there were 936 discrepancies identified across Clark County. That includes six people who voted twice, among other issues like check in errors, inadvertently canceled voter check ins, issues with the ballot cure process, etc.
Those discrepancies, when you look at how many were in each race, were NOT enough to change the margin of difference in every single race in Clark County EXCEPT Commission District C, again because the margin was literally 10 votes.
The Clark County Commission is meeting soon to canvass its results in the election. Follow along here for updates!
Attorney Craig Mueller is here in front of the Clark County Commish asking for a "total revote." Mueller is alleging that the Clark County registrar "flooded the county" with an additional 93,000 ballots, which he says wouldn't have been a problem if not for the sig ver machine.
Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria is now speaking before the commission. He's going through thanking people who were involved in the election process, including local law enforcement and fire, shopping centers that offered space for polling sites, etc.
The Washoe County Commission will be canvassing its returns from the election this morning. Final turnout in Washoe County was a record 83.02%.
Follow along here for updates!
Also although we had gotten indications that Washoe was still going to be tabulating its provisional/same day ballots over the weekend, total turnout in Washoe (252,563) hasn't changed in this presentation from the registrar of voters... which makes me think maybe this is it.

If you haven't been following these tweets every day I have explained the methodology I use in pulling these numbers here:
Now, some noteworthy updates: We keep hitting new records for cases. Yesterday, we hit a record 1,888 new cases reported in a single day. Clark hit a record 1,567 cases reported in a single day today. Washoe hit a record 529 record cases reported in a single day yesterday.
In summary, this is the universe of ballots that could still be counted in Clark:
- 63,262 mail (b/w Election Day drop off, USPS from ED/Wed, + ballots pending prior to ED)
- 241 NEW mail added to that total today
- 60,000 provisional
- 44,000 ID-required
- 2,100 need sig cure
There's been a lot of confusion at this press conference: Joe Gloria, Clark County registrar, mentioned two separate universes of mail ballots yesterday: 51k that were being processed yesterday and that other 63k that were not yet being processed.
That 51k number was wrong, because it referred to PAGES, not individual ballots. In reality, there were about 30K ballots. That was what was reported out of Clark County this morning.
The daily press conference at the Clark County Elections Department is kicking off now. I'll be live tweeting the highlights here, so follow along!
Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria says when he said that there were 51,000 ballots being processed yesterday to be reported today, that was incorrect. There were actually only a little over 30,000 (the number reported this morning.)
They inadvertently reported the number of page numbers that needed to be counted, not the number of individual ballots. However, the 63,000 number that he gave yesterday (of mail ballots left to be counted) is correct.
