Democratic Primaries

Nevada Democrats are planning to use a new caucus tool that will be preloaded onto iPads and distributed to precinct chairs to help facilitate the Caucus Day process, according to multiple volunteers and a video recording of a volunteer training session on Saturday.
The new tool will help precinct chairs fold in the results from people in their precinct who chose to caucus early with the preferences of in-person attendees on Caucus Day by calculating the viability threshold and carrying out the two alignments in the caucus process, according to the volunteers and the video recording. Details about the tool come two days after Nevada Democrats said that they would not use any apps for their Feb. 22 caucus after a coding error in a similar program used by Iowa Democrats delayed the release of results from that states nominating contest earlier this week.
In the video, a party staffer tells volunteers that the new mechanism is not an app but should be thought of as a tool.

(16,375 posts)Maybe Shadow tinkered with it a little after Iowa. Maybe they told the Nevada party that there's is completely different but they tinkered with it a little anyway. Or maybe they lied and told them it's fine but tell the precinct people that it's just a tool, not an app.
Whichever way, I wouldn't trust it. Would you?
