Yes, that is normal. Will probably know the final results on the 18th.

It's normal not to get mail in votes by day of? That seems...off...

All one needs is a stamp and a change of date.

You seem unfamiliar with how mailing something works.

This is not new. Nevada and Arizona did this in 2020. It’s why it took so long to call the Presidential election.

Town Hall's got a good headline, too: Republican Voters Deserve Answers and Accountability

I found that on the Republican subreddit, which I sometimes browse just to see what those lunatics are talking about. They seem... subdued. And some are pretty angry with Trump, who I guess some see as to blame for this.

It's been that way in a lot of states for years. They have to be postmarked by Election Day.

Not for years, unless you are counting from Covid on as a long, long time.

Given what’s outstanding and how game day votes are breaking, Lake will win.

Isn't it all mail and drop box votes left now? I know those don't tend as D in AZ as in other states, but most of them seem to be from Maricopa so I would not be confident if I were Lake.

I'm fascinated that Lake is running so much ahead of Masters. They are both nuts, but Lake seems even more nuts.

No it's all game day votes and votes that were dropped off Election Day when the printers were messed up and the machines would not read the ballots. Those are the votes being counted now, and like in the primary, they are breaking 70/30 or so in favor of Rs. The early leads you saw were mail and early votes, which get counted first.

According to this, it's 400,000 mail-in and drop-off votes and 17,000 in-person votes from the printing issue:

They also said that AZ was 97% counted. Got that wrong too.

I forgot to mail my ballot beforehand, so I dropped it in a mailbox on my way to work the morning of 11/8. It'll probably arrive tomorrow, but just in case it takes a little longer, it's good that they give buffers. People in rural areas might have slower mail service. I'm not in Clark County.

I thought this was standard for mail in ballots-be postmarked on or before election day, and they're accepted until the end of the week. If it's lost in the mail or somehow takes longer it sucks because it won't count, but we can't keep adjusting the count indefinitely in case ballots were lost in the mail. It shouldn't be enough to affect the outcome anyway. If we don't allow ballots to be accepted for a few days after, you'd have to require an earlier postmark date, allow them to be counted as they come in, and basically require anyone voting by mail to vote as much as a week earlier than everyone else. That doesn't seem fair.

Regardless, Rs have the house and have a chance at the Senate. The R has an almost 3 point lead in NV which should be hard to overcome but we all know it won't be.

Abrams is down. O'Rourke is down, as is one very valuable NY scalp who did a lot of Dem fundraising.

With Rs in the house, there will be endless investigations.

If Lake takes AZ, she is relentless. Not good.

Hobbs' lead has dropped to about 4800 votes with hundreds of thousands outstanding. So far, the Election Day votes are breaking for Lake in a huge amount.

This is the key point. Until 2020 and the massive surge in mail-in and in-person early voting, along with really close races, no one paid much attention to mail-in ballots.

This is a great page listing the due date for ballots in every state. Many/most must arrive by election day but there are plenty that need to be postmarked by election day and can be received 3, 5, 7 days later. On that site, Nevada doesn't even have a "must be received by" timeline.
