Hi! 
Native Nevadan here.
Born and raised in Las Vegas/Clark County
(Yep. We exist!)
Just hoping to provide some context/history here through my own lens

First I want to say I haven’t lived in Nevada in 10+ years.
I recognize laws have changed.
And this may not be the way things are right now, here in 2020.
But this is what I experienced growing up

Early voting.
And a lot of it.
Each election year I would head to the grocery store hand in hand with mom and dad.
Yep. The grocery store.
And that’s where they would vote.
Weeks before the assigned Election Day

We’d walk up to the little table
say hello to the poll worker
grab a ballot
and walk into a little curtained off booth
Then we’d go get groceries
Honestly I don’t remember a lot beyond that.
Because that’s what was normal

I honestly didn’t know there was a different way of doing it
Until I moved away.
Sort of like— I didn’t know gas stations closed. Until I left Nevada.
In my head, why would they?
Or why would some states make it more difficult to vote early than just going to the store?

That’s just what was normal.
For me at least.
Spending close to 4 hours in line in Nebraska last weekend because there’s a single physical location in which to vote early in the entire city was weird.
For me.

So, my point is that Nevada voters are long conditioned to vote early and en masse.
It makes a lot of sense to me that there are A LOT of early voting ballots still left to count.
