Don't expect Nevada to be called today:



ew minutes to votes being released.

Remember: Not all Clark votes are going to pop up. Only a fraction coming. And rurals, too.

No way Biden campaign can actually think Nevada will be called today.

Not enough votes scheduled to be counted.

5. When they get to some of the ballots, like provisional ballots

they have to check to make sure the person didn't already vote before they can count it. It's a more time-consuming process.

NV sent out mail-in ballots to everyone, and since many of those people showed up to vote in-person, they have to double check to make sure no one voted twice. Not an efficient system. I think the country needs to take voting cues from WA and OR.

This time around we had Two double sided Ballots to fill out. So when it comes to Scanning and verifying it takes extra time.

Be patient,Joe's got this.

Most of these persons working the count are volunteers and exhaustion has to be a major issue.
