If you're waiting on Washoe County's final numbers, you're not alone. The estimates about 92% of ballots are counted, with roughly 15,800 mail ballots still outstanding as of 9 a.m. Wednesday.

Of those, 3,800 are in signature verification and 12,000 are being sorted, extracted and scanned. Another 2,300 provisional ballots, which are set aside and reviewed after the election, are under review for eligibility. Because processing continues, the numbers may have changed since they were reported.
