If you're watching #nvleg races, here's a quick thread with some of the initial Clark County results:
In Senate District 2, it looks like Democrat Edgar Flores is leading his Republican opponent Leo Henderson (it's a solidly blue district):
In the competitive #SD8 Sen. Marilyn Dondero Loop is ahead of her Republican opponent Joey Paulos (the district is a lean blue, BUT this is a very competitive race).
Sen. Melanie Scheible is ahead of Tina Brown in competitive #SD9. This is a blue district, but Republicans have targeted it as a seat to flip.
For those watching #SD10, Sen. Fabian Donate is leading Republican Philip Graviet. This is a solidly blue district, and not as competitive as some of the earlier ones I've noted.
In another competitive district #SD12, which leans blue, Julie Pazina is leading Cherlyn Arrington.
Republican Jeff Stone is ahead of Democrat Brent Foutz in #SD20 (which is a solidly red district in terms of voter registration).
Democratic incumbent James Ohrenschall is ahead of his Republican opponent, April Larsen in #SD21, a solidly blue district.
Okayyyy now we're at Clark's Assembly races:

In #AD1, Incumbent Democrat Daniele Monroe-Moreno is ahead of her opponents (this is a lean blue district)
In #AD2, Republican incumbent Heidi Kasama is leading her opponents (the district is lean red)
In #AD3, incumbent Democrat Selena Torres is ahead (the district is solidly blue)
In #AD4 incumbent Republican Richard McArthur is ahead (the district is solidly red)
Incumbent Democrat Brittney Miller is ahead in #AD5 (the district is blue)
I'm going to jump around to some of the more competitive races, but we're seeing incumbent Democrat Steve Yeager leader in #AD9
That's all I'll highlight for now, but you can follow along here: nevada.totalvote.com/Clark/ResultsS…
Forgot to note, but in #AD35, Democrat Michelle Gorelow is leading her opponent Republican Tiffany Jones (this is a competitive district)
Democrat Shea Backus is leading in competitive #AD37:

Last week, the Trump campaign challenged a Nevada law allowing elections officials to accept mail ballots for up to 4 business days after Election Day.

I got curious, and records from @NVSOS show that mail after Election Day was 5% of all ballots in Clark and 2.9% in Washoe.

- CA (ballots can be received no later than 3 days after ED)
- OR (ballots can be received up to 7 days after ED)
- UT (only requires that ballots be postmarked by the day before ED)

Happy Valentine's Day.

Feeling a bit sentimental? Here are some fun facts about Reno's divorce industry, which led the city to hold the title of Divorce Capital of the World for more than 60 years.

(1/11) Postcard ca. 1940  The postcard shows a woman kicking a man off a bridge into the river.  The tossing of wedding rings in the Truckee River was a long-held tradition of mythic proportions.  The postcard says, "Greetings from Reno, Nevada (The biggest little city in the world).  When I was young and innocent I thought for marriage I was mean but the guy I married I couldn't abide so here goes his ring in the Reno tide.  Throwing off the last shackle at the bridge of freedom!"
In 1931, the Legislature tried to spur the economy after the Great Depression by passing the “Wide-open Gambling Act” which re-legalized gambling, lowered the divorce residence period to 6 weeks (the shortest in the country), and broadened the grounds for divorce.

(2/11) Postcard ca. 1942  The postcard depicts a woman seeking a divorce being whisked away to a divorce ranch by a handsome cowboy. Lettering on the postcard reads, "Just Arrived in Reno for 6 weeks stay."
It’s worth noting that in many states, divorce laws were strict at the time. More than half of the states had laws saying all property was owned by the husband (not his wife), and some states didn’t allow remarriage after divorce.

I’m getting a lot of questions (and seeing a lot of memes) about why it’s taking so long to get results in Nevada's Senate race.

This thread is by no means comprehensive, but here are some details about why the count is taking a while:
First, delays in election results are expected. Counting mail ballots takes time, and ballots are still arriving through Saturday. There are also specific processes and deadlines required by law.

You can see some of the deadlines in this timeline: For those voting by mail, ballots must be postmarked on or b
Why is it time-consuming to count mail-in ballots?

When mail-in ballots arrive, they are placed into trays. Each tray holds about 350-400 ballots and takes workers about 8 hours to process from start to finish. Even with multiple people working simultaneously, it takes a while.
