Biden slightly expands lead over Trump as Nevada releases first results in 24 hours
Joe Biden slightly expanded his narrow lead over President Donald Trump in Nevada on Thursday, though the number of outstanding ballots in urban Clark County suggests that the race in the Silver State is still the former vice president’s to lose.
Biden now leads in Nevada by a little less than a percentage point, or 11,438 votes, slightly wider than the slim, 0.6 percentage point margin he had held on Wednesday. The roughly 30,000 votes reported Thursday, however, did not provide the massive boost that Democrats were hoping for as tens of thousands of mail ballots in Clark County, which have been splitting 2-1 for Biden over Trump, remained uncounted.
In total, Clark County only reported back the results of about 14,000 ballots, just a fraction of the 63,000 mail-in ballots county officials still have left to count. Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria, during a news conference on Thursday, said that his staff was in the process of counting 51,000 ballots, the results of which would be reported on Friday.

In anticipation of a Biden victory in Nevada, the Trump campaign laid the groundwork for yet another lawsuit in Nevada on Thursday morning, as they have in other battleground states. - Nevada Independent
