Early voting key to timely election results, county says (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It takes a long time to process mail ballots. That’s why election results for the June primary weren’t available for days, even though just 30 percent of eligible voters participated. Bethany Drysdale with Washoe County said they’re expecting double that turnout on Nov. 3, so they’re asking voters to either send in or drop off their mail ballots well ahead of time. “We don’t want to be last! We don’t want to be made fun of for being the last county counting our ballots,” she said. Clark County c
Nevada journalists ask for review of Hawk Fire communications strategy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, the Nevada Press Association (NPA) and Nevada Open Government Coalition (NOGC) sent a letter to local, state and federal leaders.

The program is supposed to work with the federal government’s Emergency Alert System (EAS), a network that allows public officials to communicate over the air
Residents criticize Hawk Fire communication strategy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On the first night of the fire, as ash was raining from the sky, search and rescue volunteers knocked on Meghan Archambault’s door. Archambault’s house, which is near Evans Canyon on Peavine Mountain, wasn’t in a mandatory evacuation zone. But the fire was moving fast, so the volunteers were urging residents to leave early. In a conversation recorded by Archambault’s doorbell camera, one of them told Archambault’s partner about the chaotic evacuation of the North Valleys. “Earlier today it jumpe
