Nevada to start tabulating Election Day votes as they come in
A key swing state wants to start tabulating votes sooner on Election Day. Nevada’s secretary of state says election officials can start tabulating in-person Election Day votes as they come in, rather than waiting for polls to close. The recommendation applies to both Nevada’s primary next month and the November general election. Under the plan, no results would be released until after the polls close. The changes could help ease anxiety over close races in a western swing state known for razor-thin margins. In 2022, a U-S Senate race was decided by fewer than 8-thousand votes.
