The battleground state of Nevada: latest updates on the vote count

In the United States, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden needs six additional electoral votes to win the presidency (assuming Vice President Biden retains his lead in Arizona, which has been already projected by Fox News and the Associated Press). Therefore, the results in Nevada, which has yet to finish counting its ballots, could significantly affect the outcome of the presidential race. Currently, Biden has a lead in the state.

At the moment, 75% of the votes have been counted, with Joe Biden at 49.3% and the incumbent President Donald Trump at 48.7% of the vote.

It is worth noting that, according to the latest data, Biden leads in the most populous Nevada districts of Vosho and Clark (the home to Las Vegas - "Apostrophe"). As the rest of the outstanding votes mostly come from populous, Democrat-leaning areas, Biden is widely expected to retain his lead in the state. Moreover, mail-in ballots, which are being counted, tend to favor Democrats.
