US Election 2020: Protesters chant "count every vote" in Las Vegas

Protesters gathered outside the Clark County elections office in Las Vegas Wednesday evening, chanting "count every vote" as unofficial results from Nevada showed Democrat Joe Biden with a narrow lead over President Donald Trump in the state's vote totals.

The top elections official in Nevada’s most populous county said more results will be released Thursday morning that include mail-in ballots received Tuesday and Wednesday.

Clark County Registrar of Voters Joe Gloria said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon that he did not yet have a number of how many ballots had been received but uncounted in the Las Vegas area.

Unofficial results showed Biden with a slim lead over Trump, but it was too early to declare a winner in the race Wednesday with a large number of ballots yet to be counted.

Ballots would continue to be accepted if they were postmarked by Election Day.

The number of outstanding mail ballots is difficult to estimate because Nevada opted to send ballots to all 1.7 million active registered voters this year due to the pandemic, and it’s hard to predict how many will choose to return them.

At stake in Nevada are 6 electoral votes. All mail ballots are due Nov. 10 if postmarked by Election Day.
