Races have been called for the Senate primary and all four congressional seats. The last race was called Wednesday night.
With a goal to increase voter turnout, Tuesday’s effort in the Las Vegas Valley marked the test run for DJs at the Polls in Nevada.

The mountains that feed the Colorado River already have seen more snow this winter than they normally would through an entire snow season.
One of the Colorado River’s two major reservoirs is expected to collect better than average runoff this year, thanks to an unusually wet La Niña pattern that dropped a deluge of snow up and down the basin.
The Las Vegas Valley Water District is expected to adopt a new rate structure so big users pay more when they use more water.
