election results

Noting that demonstrations in the capital city have remained, for the most part, peaceful since March, Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong said public safety remains the first and foremost priority as emotions over the presidential election continue to run high.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mark Amodei (NV-02) released the following statement Wednesday after voting to uphold Arizona’s electoral votes:

The Nevada Supreme Court has ruled unanimously to dismiss an appeal filed by President Donald Trump’s campaign seeking to overturn the state’s presidential election results.

President Donald Trump’s legal effort to overturn presidential results in Nevada has fallen short after a Carson City District Court judge rejected his team’s request to award the state’s six electoral votes to the incumbent.

Demonstrators gathered at the Carson City Courthouse on Thursday in support of a court hearing by the Trump campaign regarding the Nevada 2020 elections.

A tweet from President Donald Trump angered Nevada officials Tuesday after the commander-in-chief shared a bogus charge about a Reno hospital and falsely tweeted that Nevada’s election laws were “fake.”

On Tuesday morning during a virtual meeting of the Nevada Supreme Court, the canvass of votes was signed and certified. Joe Biden was officially delegated the winner in Nevada's 2020 General Election for the Office of President.

The official results from Carson City are in, and every last viable ballot has been counted and added. The election brought out 78 percent of Carson City voters who turned out to cast their ballots.

Here are the election totals for Carson City:

Fred Lokken, political science professor at Truckee Meadows Community College, will be the featured speaker at Monday's Democratic tele-luncheon. Prof. Lokken's presentation will include a comprehensive review of this month's election results, as well as an in-depth analysis of what those results might imply for 2022 legislative races, as well as those for the House of Representatives, United States Senate, and state constitutional offices.

The Carson City Board of Supervisors will hold a special meeting on Monday, Nov. 16 beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the Bob Boldrick Theater of the Carson City Community Center to certify election results.

The Nevada Secretary of State’s Elections Division provides various tools as a service to voters, such as the Registered Voter Services website and BallotTrax. Because the administration of elections in Nevada is highly decentralized, the tools offered by the Elections Division must take in data from the 17 counties in order to function.

President Donald Trump’s campaign and the Nevada Republican Party plan to file a federal lawsuit in Las Vegas this morning asking a judge to stop the counting of “improper votes,” alleging that tens of thousands of people in the state cast a ballot despite no longer living here.

Polls for Tuesday's Carson City General Election remained open after 7 p.m. due to a large, last minute crush of voters at the community center. Carson Now will post the results as they become available via the Carson City Clerk-Recorder's Office.

The Elections Department is reporting that 72 percent of registered voters in Carson City cast their ballots in the capital city, a significant increase from previous elections.

Today is Election Day. In person voting can be done at the Carson City Community Center, 851 E. William Street, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Carson City Courthouse is not a polling location for the general election.

Good morning Carson Now readers, here are your election updates for the 2020 General Election which is currently in its early voting period. There have been huge increases in overall voters during this election, which means more and more citizens are taking part in the elections process.

The upcoming 2020 General Election will be a first in the country's history, as it will be a primarily mail-in only election. There has been many sources of misinformation regarding how the election will work, and the Nevada Secretary of State has provided a Myths and Facts sheet to help dispel some of the rumors.

President Donald Trump’s campaign has sued Nevada over a contentious bill recently approved in the ongoing special session of the Nevada Legislature that expands mail-in voting for the 2020 general election, saying it would make voter fraud “inevitable.”

Election Day was June 9 in Nevada, but due to the nature of this year's mail-in election, ballots were still being received for a week following Election Day.

However, all ballots must have been received by Tuesday, June 16 to be counted, and those that arrived must have been postmarked by June 9.

While final official results will be announced by the Secretary of State's Office on June 19, here is an update:

Due to the nature of the 2020 Nevada voting procedure, which included a large number of mail-in ballots, these results are not final until June 16th. Mail-in ballots must be postmarked by today, June 9, 2020, to be counted. The clerk's office must receive the postmarked ballots by June 16, 2020 when the results will be finalized.

UPDATE 11:40 p.m.: The Secretary of State's Office updated their election results, stating the first results should now be posted at midnight. The last update stated results were anticipated at 10 p.m.

At 7 p.m., the polls closed throughout Nevada, and as of 9 p.m. results have begun to be announced. This story will be updated as new results come in.

Today is election day in Carson City and throughout the state of Nevada, and due to COVID-19, things are happening a little differently this year.

For example, ballots were mailed in March to every registered voter throughout the Silver State to lessen the need for voters to turn up in person to cast their ballots.

The 2020 primary election in Nevada is today, Tuesday, June 9. The election is being conducted primarily by mail ballot. Limited in-person voting locations will be available on June 9.

In Carson City, the Primary Election will be held by mail, with limited polling locations at the Carson City Courthouse. Voters are encouraged to vote their mailed ballot and return the ballot to the Clerk's office in the postage paid envelope provided.

Nevada is trying to conduct its June 9 primary election almost entirely by mail as a way to prevent the spread of COVID-19, with limited options to vote in person. Wayne Thorley, deputy secretary of state for elections, took questions from the public in a Facebook Live town hall on May 11.

Nevada's primary election on June 9, 2020 will be done via mail ballot only, Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske announced Tuesday.

We’ve seen analyses of what happened in Nevada’s 2018 general election and heard various claims and characterizations. Under our leadership, the controller’s office has been known as nerd central because we rely on numbers, facts and quantitative analysis, instead of glittering generalities and snappy narratives. So, let’s do that for the election results.

UPDATE 9:40PM: 100 percent of ballots for Carson City have been counted, including absentee and early voting. Here are the final results for the contested races:

Several years ago, the movie comedy “Man of the Year”, starring the late Robin Williams, was based on a strange premise. His character, a comedian on the presidential ballot in just enough states to carry a majority of the Electoral College, was elected president via a computer flaw.

As I write this article, the Electoral College is deciding the route of the American Presidency and of Donald Trump as President-Elect. The Russian ambassador has been shot and killed in Turkey by a fanatic. Another European terrorist attack has taken place in Berlin, Germany, killing at least 12 people and wounding dozens of others during the Christmas shopping season. Back in Aleppo, Syria, the Assad government is finishing off the horrific killings of its own people as well as rescue helpers and hundreds of Christians — many of whom are women and children.
