Harris was ahead by about 1,800 votes as the ballot count nears its end in Washoe County. That’s a 0.7-point lead. Joe Biden won Washoe County by 4.5 points over Trump in 2020 and Hillary Clinton by 1.3 points.

Half of voters identified democracy as the single most important motivating factor for their vote. That was higher than the share of voters who answered the same way about inflation, the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, abortion policy or free speech, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters nationwide.
