Cameras at the vote counting facility in a Nevada county still counting midterm election votes stopped broadcasting overnight, officials said on Nov. 10.
The livestream computer application that provides the feeds “lost connection with” the cameras at 11:24 p.m. on Wednesday, according to Bethany Drysdale, a spokesperson for Washoe County.
All staff members left for the night about an hour before the issue and none returned until 7 a.m. on Thursday morning, county officials said.
The connection was restored just before 8 a.m. on Nov. 10.
The Washoe County security administrator was said to have reviewed security cameras at the building, which run on a different system. The cameras showed that no person entered the ballot room or Registrar’s Office while the live feeds were cut off.
Security personnel are working to make that footage public.
A review of staff badges also indicated that no one entered the ballot room or office.
“In the future we will look for a solution that would prevent software disruptions or simply not offer a courtesy livestream feed,” Drysdale said in a statement. “Washoe County has been at the forefront of trying to innovate election transparency, but we have moved from an election night to a much longer election timeframe. The technology we are using to provide this livestream cannot keep up with these demands. We suggest enhancing transparency with security cameras rather than courtesy livestream cameras in future elections.”
Washoe County is among multiple counties in Nevada that have not yet completed tallying for the midterms, even though polls closed on Tuesday night.
Some 100,000 ballots, all cast by mail, remained uncounted as of Thursday afternoon, the Reno Gazette Journal reported. That included more than 50,000 ballots in Clark County.
State law requires election officials to count absentee ballots as long as they were postmarked by Election Day and received by Sunday.
In the latest tranche of votes, reported Thursday by Washoe County and other jurisdictions, Democrats Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Nevada Secretary of State hopeful Francisco Aguilar gained more votes than their rivals, former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt and Republican Jim Marchant, according to KOLO-TV.
Laxalt still leads Cortez Masto by about 9,000 votes while Aguilar has about 5,350 more votes than Marchant, according to results posted by the office of the Nevada Secretary of State.
Laxalt and the senator have each said they’re confident they will be the winner when the vote count is finally done.
That race could end up determining which party controls the Senate, which is currently split 50–50. Democrats can break ties through Vice President Kamala Harris, the president of the upper chamber.
Two other races—Arizona and Georgia, the latter heading to a runoff—remain uncalled. The race in Alaska is uncalled but Republicans have the top two vote-getters.
They don’t even need pipe bursts anymore.

Thank you! I get a nickel every time someone plays that!
Where were the Repugnicants? That repugnicants that should have been paid to be there, with spring batons and steel toed boots and knives (and a few with a concealed carry permit) to peacefully monitor the proceedings? And a couple of schmendrick lawyers to yell and kvetch like democrats do when the slightest thing is amiss?
But the same person who said that did nothing to fix the 2020 elections for three years prior.
I beg to differ. Too many RINOs and Democrats prevented election reform.

It’s a coincidence!
No. It was planned.
bttt
...... OK ... So the Live stream App to the cameras lost connection ..... It doesn't say the cameras weren't working ... It says the live stream application lost connection ..... Were the cameras still operational and monitoring and possibly recording? ..... And What about the security system .... Were those cameras operational and recording during that time???
.... Curious minds want to know ....
