Nevada Republican gubernatorial candidate, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo, has won the midterm elections, ousting incumbent Gov. Steve Sisolak, a Democrat.
The projection of Lombardo’s victory comes after several counties experienced vote counting delays, in part because the state Legislature passed a vote-by-mail law in 2020 that required counties to accept ballots postmarked by the day of the election if the ballots arrive up to four days later.
