Clark County, in the key state of NevadaIt will take until at least the weekend to count 63,000 votes by mail, which could be decisive in determining who will be the next president of the United States, local authorities indicated this Thursday.
Minute by minute: Follow the countdown that will define who will be President of the United States.
In a press conference, the person in charge of the count in the county that includes Las Vegas —The largest city in the state—, Joe Gloria, said that at the moment they are aware of 63,000 votes that remain to be counted, although they will continue to accept all those suffrages by mail that arrive until next Tuesday with a dispatch date equal to or prior to that of election day.
“Our goal is to count accurately, not quickly,” said Gloria, who indicated that, of the 63,000 votes of which they are aware at the moment, 51,000 will be counted this Thursday and these data could be released on the morning of Friday.

The person in charge of the electoral process in Clark County also pointed out that they do not expect to have finished the full scrutiny, that is, including the new votes that will arrive between today and Tuesday until Thursday of next week.
Nevada is one of the states that have not yet completed the ballot and that could prove final in electing the new US president. According to projections by the US media, with 89% of the votes counted, Democrat Joe Biden leads Trump by less than one percentage point.
Also on Thursday morning, the Republican campaign announced the filing of a complaint claiming to have evidence that nearly 10,000 voters who no longer reside in Nevada voted in the state, although in her press conference, Gloria denied that they had produced irregularities. In addition, Republicans also maintain that Nevada is counting votes for deceased people.
Also: Trump’s hope with the Arizona count
The lawsuit in Nevada is part of the legal strategy deployed by Trump shortly after the vote counting began and adds to those already presented in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia.
Nevada is one of the so-called ‘hinge’ states – which can fall on both the Republican and Democratic sides – and grants six delegates to the Electoral College of USA, just the number that Biden needs, according to the projections of media such as Fox News or Politico to reach 270 and become the new president of the United States.
