It's the end of day 3 post-Election Day in Nevada. @TheNVIndy has projected winners for nearly every statewide race, except a tight race for Nevada's Senate seat.

Where do things stand in NV? What ballots were counted today?

Here's a goodnight roundup from the #WeMatter state:

The big update: Republican Joe Lombardo has been projected to win the Nevada gubernatorial race, unseating Democratic Gov. Steve Sisolak, while there is still no projected winner in the Senate race between Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and Republican Adam Laxalt.

Today saw 46k ballots tabulated and reported (Clark - 27.3k, Washoe - 11k, Douglas - 5.1k, Carson - 2.6k). The results from Washoe (+1.1k for CCM) and Douglas + Carson (+1.2k for Laxalt) practically offset while CCM won Clark mail by more than 8k.

Now: Laxalt leads by 862 votes.

I am not expecting any more NV results to be reported tonight, so over the coming days (primarily, hopefully, on Saturday), we should expect to see remaining results from unreported mail and provisional ballots roll in.

Statewide, we should expect to see results from approximately 40k-55k more ballots. Yes, that is a wide range, but the number could be affected significantly by how many ballots in the signature curing process are resolved and counted.

Today, Clark County shared that it had 50k mail ballots to be counted. Tonight, we saw about 27k reported. That’s 23k leftover, plus there are 9.7k in signature cure process as of this morning, 5.5k provisional ballots awaiting validation and whatever mail is picked up tomorrow.

Mail ballots postmarked by Election Day can be counted as long as they are received by Saturday. Though mail deliveries over the past couple days have dwindled significantly since larger deliveries Wednesday, we do not know how many ballots will come from USPS statewide tomorrow.

In Washoe County, their data shows 103.6k mail ballots received through Thursday, and 90.2k counted as of tonight. That’s 13.4k unreported, and we also know there’s more than 1k Washoe ballots in signature cure process.

Based on the number reported today by rural, Republican-heavy Douglas County, and what county officials have previously said about ballots they were processing, there may be 1k+ left to tabulate and report in Douglas. Maybe the remaining rurals have a few thousand more.

So, with all that in mind, I estimate there are 40k-55k remaining ballots for which results are not yet reported. Signature curing process (+ validation of provisionals + mail pickup tomorrow) will have an effect, and the deadline for curing is Monday.

And back to what we saw today, with 46k ballot results reported: @TheNVIndy has projected winners in all races for statewide constitutional offices, including Lombardo (R) for governor and Aguilar (D) for SOS. Read up on that here: thenevadaindependent.com/article/lombar…

That’s all for today, folks. Get some sleep. Watch out for more results being reported tomorrow (likely in the afternoon/evening), and keep an eye on updates on the very tight #nvsen race, as I know you will.

Goodnight!
