(2,042 posts)They will zero in on the results clusterfuck and not the winner. It was a solid point in that context.

(32,611 posts)Maybe MSNBC and CNN have lost momentum but it does not extend past the media.
F them.
We will get the count when we get the count.
Now, all you precinct captains get in your truck, car, wagon, saddle, whatever and take your written results to the party headquarters.
Everyone else, get some sleep.

(25,487 posts)...so everyone who was there knows the results of their caucus.
It would be impossible to tinker with the results when dozens/hundreds of people know the exact results at their precinct.

(32,611 posts)everyone in the room sees the results. EOS
Chain of custody is not an issue. There are no ballots.

(13,582 posts)What if there is a dispute?
What if two precinct people present different figures?

(32,611 posts)If you mean the state committee I assume they are asking for the tally sheets. There are no ballots.

(13,582 posts)The number of caucus goers for each candidate from the first count, the number of caucus goers for each candidate from the second count and the final number of state primary delegates awarded to each candidate as appropriate based on the % of vote for that precinct.
That information should be safeguarded to validate its reliability.

(32 posts)There are paper ballots that each caucus participant must sign and turn in after the voting for each round. So there IS a paper trail. That paper trail takes precedence over the phoned-in tabulations in case there are any discrepancies.
There were none the last time, but there were problems with the satellite locations in the Casinos on the strip, apparently, regarding how they were run.
I HATE CAUCUSES!!!
if everyone went to primaries, there would be no reason any longer to argue over who goes first in the voting nationwide. It would be a bunch of negotiations.
The only reason we have primaries in Nevada, is because Harry Reid wanted them, so we would be among the first voting states. Or so I was told whenever I asked.

(32,729 posts)STFU and let the process play out. Especially Steve Kornaki or whatever TF his name is. Stop dictating and preemptively forcing a narrative on what these results mean! Ffs!

This is a minor problem, made large by the media with their meters running, desperate for a story to fill airtime.
