Nevada released some new numbers in the general election. Overall, Joe Biden extended his lead over President Trump by 31,464 votes Sunday, November 8. 

Counties have to process mail-in ballots that did not arrive before Election Day.

Nevada is one of the few remaining states that hangs in the balance. CBS News estimates the state is likely for Biden and CBS projected Biden to win the election November 7. 

CBS news projects Biden wins Nevada and the 2020 presidential election.

Earlier, the Trump Campaign announced that it is filing a federal lawsuit alleging voter fraud in Nevada.

Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria says it all ballots should be counted by Wednesday, November 11.

Gloria said Thursday at a press conference: "Our goal here in Clark County is not to count fast. We want to make sure that we’re being accurate.”

Gloria says Clark County has at least 63,262 ballots left to count, including 34,743 returned in drop boxes on Election Day and 4,208 returned via the U.S. Postal Service. But as mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day continue to trickle in, Gloria said he had no way of knowing the total number of outstanding ballots.

He says, “That’s a number that I can’t give you. I can’t predict to you what’s going to come through the U.S. mail.”

Gloria says the fact that Nevada’s six electoral votes could push Democrat Joe Biden beyond the 270 electoral vote threshold needed to win the presidency reaffirmed the need to not rush the count.

He said the last day to count ballots is Nov. 12.
