Hey folks, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America

We've got a major, major election story for you. The balance of the Senate, the balance of power is on the line
0:11
We're going to get to that in just a second. First, I need you to like, I need you to comment, I need you to share this video
0:17
Please, please follow us at Explain America on Facebook and join us in the Explain America lounge
0:23
Just type it into the search bar at the top of Facebook. Come in there, chat with us
0:27
We'd love to have you guys. We'd love to answer. Also again, make sure you comment at the end of this video
0:34
Let us know what you think about what's going on. Okay, so we just got word from Clark County, Nevada about the state of the election there
0:43
Things are getting really tight. Laxalt is, is still ahead in the Senate race, but that race has not yet been called, not
0:51
by any media outlets, not of course by the state and not by like any major media outlets
0:57
Laxalt could hold on. Again, he may not hold on and that's, that's where we are here
1:02
And so there was a major announcement made today about that, but I want to get to that just a second
1:06
So you're looking at Arizona and you're looking at Nevada right now
1:10
Those are two states to keep an eye on. Georgia is going to be in December. So you're going to Arizona and Nevada that can determine the balance of power in the
1:17
Senate before we ever get to Georgia. If Democrats win both or Republicans win both, it's game, set, match
1:24
If it splits, then it's going to come down to Georgia. So Joe Gloria, who is the top election official in Clark County, he gave us an idea of when
1:35
we can actually see those results and know who won Nevada. Let's take a look at that video
1:40
Additional ballots that were read in and we reported on our website, the new totals
1:46
We still have over 50,000 ballots that need to be counted. Those are in various stages in the process of validation before they go to the counting board
1:56
And finally, ultimately, they get to tabulation where we're able to read them into the system
2:01
We will continue to work through the weekend. Tomorrow is not a holiday for this office
2:07
We will be open. We'll be processing ballots as well as on Saturday
2:11
Sunday, if we still have work to do, we will be in here to continue that work
2:17
So there's no weekend for the Clark County election department will continue to process
2:23
The majority of the mail should be counted in Clark County by Saturday, barring any issues
2:31
with equipment. With the exception of the cure ballots, which I've already mentioned to you, the deadline
2:38
will be Monday and those provisional ballots that we must receive a report from the secretary
2:42
of state that's compiled with all 17 counties so that we can prevent anything from illegal happening
2:49
Today, we received 626 ballots through the mail, which is the only way that we can receive
2:54
It's kind of embarrassing that in the year 2022, it comes down to this, that we can't
3:00
count votes quicker than we're counting them in certain states. It's embarrassing
3:05
And I don't know how else to explain it. France has a bigger population than most of these states
3:12
They can get the results in two hours and it's taken us as long as it's taking us
3:17
It's absolutely tremendously ridiculous. That being said, we now know that we may not know who won Nevada until next week
3:25
That also means we may not know who controls the Senate until next week
3:29
So election day has become election week has become election season. It's quite frustrating
3:34
And I really want to know what you guys think about it, though, in the comments
3:39
So please make sure you leave a comment and let us know what you're thinking about this situation
3:45
In the meantime, guys, again, please remember to like and to share and to comment
3:50
As I said, please follow us at Explain America on Facebook. And of course, check us out in the Explain America lounge
3:58
And let's just, I guess, enjoy the rest of election season, folks
4:02
We love you guys. God bless you. Take care, everybody
