When asked about the delays in the ballot processing process, Aguilar said: “We have a bit of a problem with that now, given that we're seeing a lot of engagement and participation among our youth. And this is probably the first time they've had to use an official signature. What's on their driver's license.” on the right, on the voter registration form and on the ballot, is a little different, so we're trying to work with them to promote the healing process.”

The Secretary of State buried the lady. He's probably most concerned about running a smooth election, but the idea that youth turnout is so high that it's slowing down the ballot processing is a big deal.

With young voters overwhelmingly supporting Democrats, the high youth turnout in Nevada could be even worse news for Republicans on a day when there is already a sense of panic around the GOP, as more Democrats than they expected cast ballots on Election Day. and the Republicans did not, getting the turnout they had hoped for so far.
