LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — As soon as it became apparent on Wednesday that Nevada may play a pivotal role in the election of the next president of the United States, the memes started popping up on social media.
RELATED STORY: What is taking so long to count ballots in Nevada?
According to the latest numbers, former Vice President Joe Biden has a slight lead over President Trump in Nevada.
If Biden wins the state, he will add Nevada’s six electoral votes to his total. According to the Associated Press, Biden currently has 264 electoral votes and Trump has 217. A candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win.
Of course, 13 Action News had to get in on the fun and remind everyone how to pronounce the state's name.
