Here is a thread featuring some of the #nvleg highlights from Washoe County (so far)...
In #AD25, Democrat Selena La Rue Hatch is leading her opponent Republican Sam Kumar. This is a lean-blue district, formally held by Republican Jill Tolles.
In #AD30, incumbent Democrat Natha Anderson is leading against Republican Ricci Rodriguez-Elkins (this is a solidly blue district)
In #AD27, Democrat Angie Taylor is leading against Republican Carmen Ortiz
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).
I'm about to join a Washoe County Election media briefing. I'll update this thread with any important details and relevant information.
Officials say that polls will be closing soon, but people are in line at all of the County's voting locations, so none of the polls in the county are closed.
So far, the county has received a little shy of 6,000 mail ballots in the mail today. County officials are expecting a little more than 10,000 ballots. Mail ballots from the vote centers are still coming in.
Remember all of the 2020 election memes asking Nevada to hurry up and finish counting all the votes?
Will we be in for round two as we head into the final stretch of Election Day? Check out this full thread for details about when we can start expecting results. 🧵

Mail-in ballots may be a source of the vote-counting delay.
Mail ballots delivered to drop boxes by the close of polls or postmarked on Election Day must be delivered by 5 p.m. Saturday (11/12) to be counted. Voters have until Monday to address any signature issues. (2/10)
Heads up, if you were vaccinated in Nevada, you can now access (and download) your COVID-19 vaccination records through the state's SMART Health QR Code.
Follow this tweet thread for a choose-your-own-adventure-style walkthrough of how to get your records.
To get ahold of your record, head to Nevada WebIZ (the state's immunization information system linked below) and sign into the system. (NOTE, if you, like me, do not have your contact information attached to your immunization record go to next tweet)
