Nevada Dem caucus question
- Thread starter ICWestfan
- Start date
Can't be delegates. Only 2,383 are needed for the DNC nomination. Hillary is currently ahead 502 - 70.
County delegates.
Nevada Democratic Party spokesman Stewart Boss estimated turnout at 80,000, falling short of the nearly 120,000 voters who turned out in 2008.
Pretty pitiful turnout for sure. I'm doubt caucuses are good for voter turnout. You have to show up to a location early, and wait around until the end instead of just casting a private quick vote. In this case it was on a Saturday afternoon. In the modern service driven economy I am going to guess a big part of the base was working. To think democrats usually want to make voting easier and more accessible.
I edited a little extra in after you quoted me. I can vouch for if it is exactly the same process they use in Iowa. In Iowa you show up and have to be in line before a set time. If you are not in the line on time you do not get to participate. In Iowa you basically stood on your candidates part of the room. Eventually they counted the two sides of the room. In my locations case it was 217 people 112 for Sanders and 105 for Hillary. The state delegate equivalents split 6-6. I think it had then potential in that case to be a coin flip location (correction?) My gripe on the coin flips were that makes not every vote matter. It negates 30 or so votes on the flip and the landing of a coin.
