I am bad at math, but right now 50% of the results for votes are in for NV

And all total add up to 10K

How in the world is that possible. I thought that 75K voted early. And assumed that many again on caucus day.

I must be missing something obvious.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I searched for "Nevada caucus popular vote," and see a total of a bit more than 55k.

4. That is not votes

Bernie got 33% of the first votes.

What the media is reporting is state delegates.

Just like Iowa, these are not the same thing.

8. Votes are county convention delegates which determine state delegates. With 60% so far

Bernie Sanders
46% 3,523

Joe Biden
19.6% 1,496

Pete Buttigieg
15.3% 1,172

Elizabeth Warren
10.1% 773

Amy Klobuchar

So far Sanders has received 10 delegates and no one else has been awarded any. There are 26 more delegates to allocate when more results come in.
