All 17 Nevada Counties Certify Election Results Amid Disputes

Greenwatch Desk World News 2024-11-16, 10:59am




On Friday, all 17 counties in Nevada, a key battleground state, met the deadline to certify their election results, despite controversy and conspiracy theories surrounding the process. Local officials in Nevada's rural counties approved the results with little fanfare, while urban areas like Clark and Washoe counties experienced heated debates over the validity of the results.


Nevada's election certification began on Wednesday, and Friday marked the deadline for counties to finalize their results, which will be reviewed by Democratic Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar and the Nevada Supreme Court. Candidates who wish to challenge the results have until November 20 to request a recount.

President-elect Donald Trump won Nevada, carrying the state's 15 rural counties, where election officials praised the smooth running of the vote. These counties unanimously certified Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, citing no significant issues during the election process.

However, certification meetings in Clark County, home to Las Vegas, and Washoe County, which includes Reno, were marked by disruptive claims of election fraud. In Washoe, a divided commission voted.
