Why does it take Nevada so much longer to count


Is this a technical, logistical or policy difference to other states in the election?

"It's taking a little longer than normal this year because every active voter received a mail-in ballot this year," explained Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford.

"Processing mail takes time because election officials must ensure that no one has more than one vote," he said.

"And counting ballots has also taken time because we have many safeguards in place to prevent fraud," added Ford, "such as signature verification, unique bar codes and other tools."

Ford says officials knew the ballot counting process would take some time this year and adds that our counting procedures are overseen by a bi-partisan board in each county.

This is because USA is a real democracy where every ballot is properly validated before counted to ensure there is no electorial fraud going on. This is in contrast to those of other countries we hear about on the news such as Belarus, Venezuela and Bolivia.
