Senate control may come down to Nevada, where a slow ballot count entered its final act. If Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto wins, Democrats would keep control of the Senate. If Republican Adam Laxalt wins, the Georgia Senate runoff would determine control.
“This has narrowed our victory window,” he tweeted, acknowledging the race comes down to the final Clark ballots.
“We are doing everything in our power to move ballots forward just as quickly as we can,” Joe Gloria, the registrar in Clark County, said Friday.An estimated 23,000 ballots remain to be counted in the county. Gloria said there were also 9,600 ballots being “cured” and 5,555 provisional ballots. Clark County accounts for three-quarters of Nevada’s population.
Roughly three-fourths of Nevada voters said the country is headed in the wrong direction, and about 5 in 10 called the economy the most important issue facing the country, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of 2,100 of the state’s voters.Voters viewed the economy negatively, with VoteCast finding nearly 8 in 10 saying economic conditions are either not so good or poor. Only about 2 in 10 called the economy excellent or good.
