A complete disaster': Fears grow over potential Nevada caucus malfunction......💻

Volunteers complain of poor training for a vote-reporting system that was adopted on the fly



Anxiety is rising over the possibility of another tech-induced meltdown at the Nevada Democratic caucuses on Saturday.
In interviews, three caucus volunteers described serious concerns about rushed preparations for the Feb. 22 election, including insufficient training for a newly-adopted electronic vote-tally system and confusing instructions on how to administer the caucuses. There are also unanswered questions about the security of Internet connections at some 2,000 precinct sites that will transmit results to a central “war room” set up by the Nevada Democratic Party



Some volunteers who will help run caucuses at precinct locations said they have not been trained on iPads that the party purchased to enter and transmit vote counts. Party officials scrambled to streamline their vote reporting system — settling on Google forms accessible through a saved link on the iPads — after scrapping a pair of apps they’d been planning to use until a similar app caused the fiasco in Iowa two weeks ago



The volunteer received no hands-on training with the iPads before handling one physically for the first time at an early-voting site on Saturday. As a result, the first two hours of early voting were “disastrous,” the person said, as volunteers struggled to get iPads to function properly and connect to the Internet

1. So I guess it's not enough to criticize Dems after something happens

Gotta criticize us because something "might" happen

Thanks Politico!

2. Relatives in Las Vegas said the lines were extremely long . . .

they waited tho (Biden supporters). Not a fan of caucuses but here's hoping it runs more smoothly than Iowa.

5. Got my doubt ....

7. Here in GA, it always seems the early voting waits are much longer than voting day

I think its because only a few polling stations are open compared to voting day, when they're ALL open. I vote on voting day. Its kinda like a tradition for me.

11. It's twofold...

Fewer polling locations and more paperwork (to make sure the votes get tallied in the right precinct and that the voter is logged as already having voted).

3. I am beginning to think that the 2020 election is going to be a

Disaster.

As a result we will no longer trust our election systems - and shithead will win by default.

4. I agree we can not trust our election systems anymore....to much rigging the results..

6. I'm all for closed primaries in every state . . .

But alas, that's a pipe dream.

14. Even then

When there's an incumbent POTUS, it's almost stupid to *NOT* register for the opposite party and try to select the weakest candidate. Both sides have been doing so every time and every chance, as long as we've had two parties and an incumbent
