Nevada Fiasco

[sunnystarr]

I know it's over but I wanted to get a better understanding of what was happening in the caucuses after watching a dissatisfied caucus voter on MSNBC earier. I ran across this ... it's well worth a total read and a look at the pics..

According to the latest on-the-ground reports from Democratic caucus-goers in Nevada, the entire process is being described as a “fiasco” where confusion and deception is rampant.

The Reno Gazette-Journal (RGJ) reported that there were “long lines, too few ballots” at caucus locations. Gwen Ritchie, who was caucusing at Hug High School in Washoe County, told the RGJ that her caucus was supposed to start at 11:30 AM local time, yet she and others were still waiting by 12:45. Edwin Basl, who is caucusing at Peavine Elementary School, told RGJ that he was experiencing “Completely silly loooonnnnngggg waiting lines. This should be a primary vote, not a caucus process.”

Reports of too few paper ballots are widespread. In one instance, voters with no ballots were told to wait in line to see precinct captains, who had more paper ballots. After waiting for hours, voters were told that they had to move all the way to the back of the line. One man reportedly waited for over 80 minutes due to ballot issues:

1. Caucuses are held instead of primaries because the parties or legislature refuse to fund primaries.

2. Yeah, those grapes were probably sour any way.

3. This is a really bad method of selecting a nominee

I'm very discouraged watching these problems from IA and now NV
