Lombardo, the Clark County sheriff and a former soldier, ran on
supporting law enforcement and cutting government spending.
Sisolak emphasized protecting abortion.
Unlike many of the unsuccessful Republican candidates for
governor in presidential battleground states this year, Lombardo
has rejected former Republican President Donald Trump's false
claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
However, Lombardo called it an "honor" when he received Trump's
endorsement in May, and his campaign released a statement in
October calling Trump a "great president" and praising Trump's
immigration, fiscal and energy policies.
Sisolak's re-election campaign emphasized protecting access to
abortions, education, expanded child care and affordable
housing.
Both campaigns had stayed largely silent as vote counting
continued throughout the week.
Nevada law requires officials to count mail ballots received by
Friday, so long as they were postmarked by Tuesday's Election
Day. Voters whose ballots were rejected have until Monday to
remedy the error.
