Dan Lee In The News

The Nevadan
Nevada’s election results could take several days to report, but that’s because the vote counting and certification process is thorough and is meant to ensure every legal voter is able to cast their ballot, and that each of those ballots are verified. Here’s what to know about the vote counting process in Nevada, from beginning to end.
Las Vegas Review Journal
More than 1 million Nevadans — just over half the state’s total registered voters — have already cast their vote in the 2024 election after early voting wrapped up Friday night. Early voting turnout suggests the race will be close, but higher than usual Republican participation means Democrats must play catch-up on getting out the vote, a reversal of previous election cycles.
Daily Mail
On a Wednesday afternoon under a blazing sun and clear blue sky, Claudia Monreal and Artenasa Orocco pulled up on a neighborhood street in east Las Vegas. Armed with political flyers and an app on a phone showing where to go, they began knocking on doors as the temperature in Nevada approached 100 degrees.
Yahoo!
The Supreme Court on Friday rejected an emergency request to put Green Party candidate Jill Stein on Nevada’s presidential ballot, a potential boost for Vice President Kamala Harris’ efforts to carry the closely divided state. Opinion polls show Harris and former President Donald Trump essentially tied in Nevada, and Stein's presence on the ballot had the potential to pull voters from the vice president.
