If you voted in person in Washoe, the county says things went smoothly. Communications Manager Bethany Drysdale said no major issues have come up with the count, and the last voter cast a ballot around 9:35 p.m. She also said reception to the new ballot marking devices stayed positive.

The county ran 41 vote centers, down from about 50 at the last general election, and put its equipment into busier "super center" sites. George Guthrie of the Registrar's office said Nevada law bars releasing results until all voters statewide have voted, and Clark County voting ran closer to midnight.
