Biden's lead over Trump in Nevada grows slightly

Democrat Joe Biden’s lead over President Donald Trump in Nevada has grown slightly, putting the former vice president ahead by 22,657 votes in the battleground state.

The results this afternoon are mail-in ballots from Democrat-heavy Clark County, which include Las Vegas and three-quarters of Nevada’s population.

Biden has 632,558 votes, and Trump has 609,901. Vote counting in the state — and several other battlegrounds — is continuing.

The fresh batch of results is among 63,000 mail ballots that Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria said this morning that his workers were starting to process. He expected the bulk would be processed by Sunday.

Gloria has an additional 60,000 provisional ballots to be processed later.
