Emerging story
Twitter users have been claiming that Nevada has stopped counting votes in the presidential election until November 5, two days after polls closed.
Misbar’s Analysis
Nevada Officials said that they won't release new numbers until Thursday. Not releasing numbers doesn't mean that they stopped counting. According to the Daily Mail, Nevada results won’t be known until Thursday morning.
Social media posts have twisted the announcement by Nevada election officials to falsely conclude that they stopped counting ballots the day after Election Day because the presidential contest was in a dead heat.
However, election officials still had to count mail ballots received on Election Day as well as those received over the next several days and provisional ballots.
