Breaking down Arizona, Nevada midterm races as vote count continues
Fox News Decision Desk's Daron Shaw gives the latest outlook on razor-thin margins in the remaining Arizona and Nevada races on 'Your World.'
Nevada Democrat U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto is inching closer to overtaking the lead that Republican Adam Laxalt has.
Following the latest updates from Clark County, Laxalt's lead over Cortez Masto shrunk to 798 votes after the county tallied 27,229 votes, resulting in a pickup of 8,190 votes for the incumbent senator.
Clark County is Nevada's most populous county, with roughly 2.29 million people.
In the race for governor, Republican Joe Lombardo has unseated Democratic incumbent Steve Sisolak, the Fox News Decision Desk can project.

It looks like Democrats are holding the US Senate!
The Fascists finally may have manufactured enough ballots. Congrats!
This is absurd. I have never seen your signature. According to this theory I could sign your name to something, without ever having seen it, and somewhere between 50 and 90 % of the time the handwriting I signed your name with would fool someone checking it. This is ridiculous. There is a 99% chance that the signature I made using your name would look nothing like your real signature. If these phony signatures are being accepted that is on the person reading them, not the system.
What kind of dumb stunt is that. Sending someone a picture of your ballot envelope is one of the dumbest things I have heard yet....
It was a bit surprising that Cortez Mastro picked up more than expected in Washoe county. It's blue but it seems that it went for Cortez Mastro in a big way according to last night's news. As soon as Cortez Mastro's new numbers were made public I got phone calls from friends living in Henderson. They were delighted, to say the least.
Looks like McConnell called it back in Aug, “I think there’s probably a greater likelihood the House flips than the Senate. Senate races are just different — they're statewide, candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome. “
Repub Senators are made at him for speaking the truth.
The all seem to be attacking McConnell lately.
McConnell and Trump hate each other.
All three US house seats went to dems and the republicans made a concentrated effort to take those seats.
The democratic governor of Nevada was the only senator or governor in the country to lose reelection, with warnock still on the table.
Then you must be conceding that the Democrat hasl won the Senate race in Nevada?
The dem State Treasury won re-election against a MAGA candidate
It seems probable.
States like Az and Nv are making our election system look like a joke to the developed world.
We’d be better off using the purple thumb system we used it Iraq.
Both AZ and NV are following their respective election laws. On average for AZ it 10 to 12 days after election day that the final vote count is available. NV is pretty much the same.
Agreed, making both states look foolish compared to more populous states like Florida.
They don't look foolish at all, it's what the residents of those states want. Their state, their choice.
Opinions do vary
Florida can count 8 million votes, survive a hurricane and rebuild a bridge in time those states count less than a third of those votes.
No wonder Desantis is so popular.
Yes, they do but you don't live in either state so there is that.
You realize don't you the election criteria and voting parameters have been in place long before DeSantis and we survive hurricanes every year, in fact, we just had another one earlier this week. The bridge is operational which is a good thing now to get to work on the inland areas that we devasted by the flooding.
Best stick to cheesehead issues, Sean.
changes were made last year. Or did that get flushed down the memory hole?
Yes, that's my point. All that happened while states struggle to count a fraction of florida's votes.
There have been a couple of changes one under SB90 and the other under SB524. You should read them, they were security issues and did nothing to speed up the elections/vote counting.
The only hole around here is the rabbit hole you keep falling down. Watch your step, don't want to see you vanish for life.
The point is the one you missed and that is that those same things that you mentioned have been happening and handled by prior governors.
As always Nevada and Arizona are doing the election cycle/counting as they have done in the past based on state law and the only ones that seem to be whining about it are the loser Republicans.
The Cheeseheads in Green Bay need help before Rogers ends up with a serious injury or getting a first-round pick next year.
Cheers.
Oh, I forgot to add that in AZ Kelly won re election and it was just announced that Cortez Masto won NV.
Seems that they know how to count in both of those states. Slow and sure while the republicans burned.
Another big of good news is in Washington state the Dems flipped another republican seat.
lol .... so what?
Trying to defend the indefensible. A sign of one of two things. Insanity or a irreversibly partisan mind.
Cortez Masto is the projected winner. The Democrats keep control of the Senate.
It's a beautiful day!
Outstanding!!!!
Wonderful. Democracy wins. America wins.
Disinformation loses bigly, lol.
