While Nevada’s formal presidential caucuses are still a week away, Democrats began casting votes at more than 80 locations across the state on Saturday. Nevada Democrats are hosting four days of early voting for its caucuses, the first test of a candidate’s appeal before a diverse population with strong labor unions.
This year, with the results of Iowa’s caucuses muddled by technology and reporting problems, Nevada is under heavy pressure to pull off a problem-free caucus. The Nevada State Democratic Party abandoned its plans to use an app like the one that caused trouble in Iowa and has scrambled to come up with a new system to tabulate results.
Biden thanked the volunteers, emphasized the importance of the Latino vote and touted his relationships with unions. He later told reporters that he didn’t need to win Nevada’s caucuses to mount a comeback. Elizabeth Warren, meanwhile, also reeling after a weak performance last week in New Hampshire, looked to Nevada’s women for momentum.
