The line to vote at the student union at the University of Nevada, Reno, remained about an hour long as of 8:15 p.m. local time, according to a county poll worker at the location.
She said the wait was three hours long earlier in the evening but has reduced considerably since the close of polls at 7 p.m. She said the line was due in part to a surge of students who registered on Election Day.
Edwin Calva, a 20-year-old sophomore from Las Vegas, was the last student in line. He skateboarded from chemistry class and arrived three minutes before polls closed at 7p.m.
He’d been waiting about an hour and half and had another hour to go, but said it was worth it. “I’ve been preaching all day to my friends about how important it is to vote,” he said. “I would feel bad for not doing my part for the country.” He said he intends to vote for Kamala Harris.
