Provisional: Google News (5 term variants for AP, Reuters and The Washington Post; 3 for the others) and Bing News (5 variants, outlet domain only) were both used. AP, Reuters and CBS News block direct site search, and the other 10 outlets’ site search only loads in a live browser. A single search engine can miss articles, so this score may go down on recheck.
Depth
Dig five layers into this story — from what happened to the full picture.
L1What happened
Las Vegas (AP, Jessica Hill): "A line of voters Tuesday night snaked around a Las Vegas parking lot in a busy shopping plaza, where a tent was set up as a polling location. With an estimated wait time of two hours, a DJ played music as voters stood in line."
L2Who’s affected
Clark and Washoe (AP): "Earlier in the day, pizza, water and other snacks were handed out. Some Clark County voters skipped the line and dropped off their mail ballots." "Voters in Washoe County, home to Reno, also were waiting over an hour."
L3Why it’s quiet
Why the waits (AP): "Amber Falgout with the Institute for a Progressive Nevada, which runs a nonpartisan voter education program, attributed the long wait times to increased voter turnout plus an additional step in-person voters must take this year. Once they finish voting, their ballot is printed out and they must turn that in, Falgout said."
L4Deeper impact
If you are in line (AP): "The polls close at 7 p.m. Pacific time, but any voter still in line at that time will be allowed to cast a ballot."
