Democratic officials and presidential campaigns in Nevada are desperately hoping to avoid another caucus meltdown like the one this month in Iowa.
More CoverageReforms have been instituted after each cycle, including early voting this year, which has proved popular but has led to long lines. Nearly 75,000 Democrats already voted this month, approaching the total number of people — 84,000 — who participated in the party’s 2016 caucuses.
The app was part of a cascade of failures in Iowa: A phone line set up as a backup was inundated by calls from trolls. Precinct leaders were stuck on hold for hours as they tried to report results. A paper trail, created as a reform after the 2016 caucuses, revealed errors and inconsistencies in precinct tallies.
Then, a volunteer will call in the results using a party hot line. The Google form also will automatically transmit results to the state party’s master file. There will be a paper record of each caucus result. “Part of me wishes we could go back to simple days when phone numbers were more than fine,” said Giddins, now a professor at American University.
