(62,269 posts)They don't want to fuck with the counts in other states, and they're entitled to release the final tally when they do. The Republicans want to throw out votes. They want to fuck it up.

They have 140k ballots left to count, including provisional ones. Link down-thread.

(258 posts)They will have a good idea this Saturday or Sunday per the NV Registrars presser this morning. The 11/12 date is the last date to count any more ballots that are postmarked 11/3, but received by the 11/10 deadline.

One of the reasons no one has officially called Nevada is the volume of ballots still out there.
It's about 140,000, with almost 90 percent in Clark.
But 90 percent in Clark makes it worse for Trump.
Those votes are going to help Dems.

(6,423 posts)....and I recall reading Death Count Donnie's ceiling was 248, far short of 270, so not sweating this at all!
I'm thinking every outstanding state is going Biden.

(258 posts)Yes, I know Biden will get NV, and am pretty sure about PA and AZ. Keeping my fingers crossed for GA!

(9,213 posts)So they might as well just release final final numbers once rather than risk being wrong and having to keep updating them.
I think they know they are going to get lawsuits from the Trump campaign so it is in their best interest to make sure they are crossing every t and dotting every i and doing things 100% by the book. It isn't a race.

(25,464 posts)Everyone wants instant gratification, but I'd prefer that it be done accurately and correctly procedure-wise so that there are zero (legitimate) questions when the dust settles.

(297,154 posts)that's where we are.

(3,383 posts)all over and done with. Thank goodness it will be decided before them. But geez! This is terrible.

(22,669 posts)There are still votes coming in through the mail. This is normal. They have until the 12th to complete the results. It just so happens the race is tight so it cannot be called as early as say, California.
So pop some popcorn and let play out.

(3,383 posts)I know they have until the 12th. I still think they should have planned better and not keep the whole nation waiting like this.
