The Nevada caucus ended yesterday across that state around 6 pm Eastern time. As I write this, it's 17 hours later and we only have results from 60% of the local precincts. What's going on?
We know that the Nevada Democrats junked their original plan for reporting results. They were going to use the same app that failed so miserably in Iowa. That got replaced with each caucus leader entering the results on an I pad and emailing them to state headquarters. Two days prior to the vote, that plan was also junked. It was considered too complicated. The final plan was for the leader at each caucus to write down the results on a sheet of paper and then call them in to the party headquarters. That's not a very time consuming job. Since there are only a few hundred precincts, all of the data should have been phoned in by a few hours after the voting ended.
Why are these results delayed? Some say that there were problems with getting the results of early voting. That ended 4 days ago so there was plenty of time to put those numbers together. It can’t be that
So again, what is going on here? It sure seems like the Dems are trying to reduce Bernies numbers. Last night the reported numbers for Bernie were in the mid 40s. Now they’re down to the high 30s. Is this related to the slow count ?
