During the 20th century, Nevada earned the nickname "Mississippi of the West" for racial segregation and discrimination. Now, it's set to elect the first Black governor west of the Mississippi River.

KETV said Ford would become Nevada’s first Black governor. The reports did not give a vote margin or detailed results.
