## Processing Steps
Federal ballots were reported countywide in Carson City, Churchill, Clark, Douglas, Elko, Humboldt, Lyon, Nye, Pershing, Washoe, White Pine. These were distributed by candidate to precincts based on the precinct-level reported vote. Clark County had congressional district-reported votes that were distributed accordingly.

Nevada election results are suppressed for precincts with less than 10 total votes cast. These results were inferred or estimated based on countywide totals and precinct-level turnout by party.
