Is this correct? Only 60% of the caucus votes have been counted in NV?

WTFF !

Sanders is at 46%. He could crack 50.

15. That's not a huge change really.

Sanders dominated NV. That perception doesn’t change much between 46% and 52% in my estimation. Team Sanders kicked ass either way.

16. A majority of votes? A majority of delegates?

It makes a difference when the contest is to win a majority of delegates.

My 2c anyway.

9. The one good thing that could come from this debacle: RCV for all Dem primaries.
Sun Feb 23, 2020, 10:45 AM
Feb 2020

Obviously it depends on states and technology, but wouldn't it be GREAT if the DNC announced an objective to achieve RCV primaries in as many states as possible by 2024? And to use national funds to support state parties achieving that? And possibly push to re-jigger the schedule so that non-RCV states would go last?

One can dream ...

People should be able to vote for candidates like Klobuchar, without 'wasting' their vote on the main game.

6. Nevada hired a 200-person professional call center and kept the phone number hidden.
Sun Feb 23, 2020, 10:42 AM
Feb 2020

I searched everywhere, even the dark web, to see if I could find the phone number posted somewhere, but had no luck.
You would think if the pugs were clogging the lines, it would be easy to find the number.

14. Yep, it would really only take one person with the number and equipment and a phone flooder program.

I've seen hackers shut down entire phone scammer businesses this way on youtube.

You're in the right ballpark.

Edited to update. Google shows 60% reporting, as per The Associated Press:
