Nevada results should start coming in soon since polls are now closed

[Jersey Devil]

Closing time was 12 noon Pacific Time. Let's see how this one works.

1. That's quick.

Normally don’t these polls things run relatively late.

[Jersey Devil]

3. Prob because it is a Saturday and most people are off work - nt

2. They have to do the whole caucus thing - some still yet to start (checking in).

Other then entrance polls it'll be a while.

[Jersey Devil]

5. yeah, you are right

but the polls are closed. I guess it will take a lot longer than I thought.

[jmg257]

8. No worries - it'll be cool if they actualy stick with one and let us see them under way.

Seems they will!

[Fiendish Thingy]

4. Nope- voting STARTS at noon

The doors are closed and no one is admitted after noon, when the voting and wrangling begins.

7. I guess my source is wrong if you are correct

9. Yeah there's this source:

https://nvdems.com/2020-caucus-frequently-asked-questions/

I wonder why the heavy article has bad information.

6. I hope there's big participation regardless of the outcome otherwise!

It’s nice that 17 year olds can participate if they’ll be 18 in November.

[Codeine]

12. That's a change I'd like to see in CA.

Hopefully a ballot measure to allow that will come up in November.

[David__77]

14. Good idea. There's not much proposition fuel on the primary state ballot.

Maybe in November. Not sure what that might be other than rent control again or medication purchases by state.

[VarryOn]

15. I hope there's one too...

It would be a great injection of much needed hope!

10. Trump and down ballot Republicans

have the bubbly ready to celebrate a Sanders win.

11. NV Dem Party link on how it works

https://nvdems.com/2020-caucus/

Actual caucusing starts at 12 noon PST. Since caucus is different from a primary. Lowest vote count candidates are eliminated and those voters can switch to one of the remaining candidates. Then rinse and repeat until a candidate wins that precinct.

Early voters had a ranked choice ballot. Pretty sweet way to do it.

13. Interesting but not my preference

Seems to me if you are going to do it that way then just have a primary and allocate the votes proportionately as the Dems are doing in other states.

[Iliyah]

16. Population of Nevada is over 3 million . . .

Caucus vote maybe less than 125,000.



Anywho it's thundering and lightening here in Los Angeles, and a little rain

[Hortensis]

19. Good points. Record early voting's another piece.

Congrats on a little rain and the dramatics. We're from and will always love SoCal, but the cloudless skies were usually very boring compared to what comes across or up or down our peninsula daily in Florida.

[cwydro]

18. I don't think so.
