Polls had waiting times upwards of five hours. Per Nevada law, the results of an election cannot be announced until after the last person to enter the voting line before 7 p.m. casts their ballot. After polls opened, Clark County issued a statement on Instagram about longer voting times due to the significant voter turnout for Election Day.Nevadans made several crucial decisions, including about the constitutional right to abortion, voter ID requirements and selecting statewide officeholders and congressional representatives.Nationwide, Democrats have taken the House majority 254-162 and gained 44 seats, while Republicans picked up two seats — one in Tennessee and one in Texas — according to The Associated Press’ last count as of 9:55 a.m. on Nov. 8. There are still 19 seats to be called.Democrats also secured a 54-44 majority in the Senate after gaining seven seats, and Democrats flipped five gubernatorial seats. No Senate seats or governorships have flipped to favor Republicans.Ballot measures: abortion and voter IDBoth ballot Question 6 and 7 were passed and amended in the Nevada Constitution. Question 6 provides Nevadans a constitutional right to abortion up until fetal viability. Question 7 requires in-person voters to verify with photo identification and mail-in voters to provide their Social Security numbers or the last four digits of their driver’s licenses. U.S. House of RepresentativesDemocrat Teresa Benitez-Thompson won 50.2% of the vote in Nevada’s 2nd Congressional District. She beat Republican David Flippo and flipped the seat for the first time in district history. Incumbent U.S. Reps. Dina Titus (NV-01), Susie Lee (NV-03) and Steven Horsford (NV-4) have all been reelected for another two years in Congress, according to the AP.Titus took a 22-point lead ahead of Trump-endorsed Republican candidate Carrie Buck. She will be serving her eighth term in Congress. Lee will serve her fourth term in Congress after beating Republican candidate Marty O’Donnell by 20 points. Horsford won District 4 by a 22-point margin ahead of Republican candidate Cody Whipple. This will be his fifth term as a representative.GovernorWith a 7-point difference, Democrat Aaron Ford flipped the governor’s seat and won against incumbent Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo, according to the AP. Ford will be the first Black governor in state history after serving as attorney general since 2019 and a member of the Nevada Senate from 2013 to 2018.Democrats also hold a majority in both the state Senate and the state Assembly. In the Senate, Democrats hold 13 out of the 21 seats, and in the assembly they hold a 31-10 majority with one remaining uncalled seat, according to the AP.Hearing from votersVoters exited Henderson City Hall after waiting up to three hours to cast their ballots. The line wrapped around the inside of City Hall, and the location was open several hours past 7 p.m. “It’s really important for Americans, especially now with the current political climate, to voice their opinions in the best way possible,” said Henderson voter Corey Simpson when asked about his motivation to vote. “I think it’s very vital to democracy.”Jeremy Campos, another Henderson voter, placed more emphasis on wanting a leader that best serves the interests of the people.“I’m trying to put somebody in office where they actually care for the people, for the state, for the whole country,” Campos said. “Somebody that knows what they’re going to be doing for the future for the people.”Another voter and father in Henderson, Nicholas, who requested to be referred to by first name only, spoke about his 10-month-old son who inspired him and his wife to come out.“We’re trying to create a better future for our son,” he said. “We heavily believe in women’s right to abortion if they so choose as well as the non-necessity for an ID to vote. If you’re paying taxes here, you should be able to vote regardless.”</div></body>
