Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez warned earlier this week that results from Nevada’s caucus on Saturday might not be released the same day — an apparent attempt to lower expectations after the meltdown in Iowa

that results from Nevada’s caucus on Saturday might not be released the same day — an apparent attempt to lower expectations after the meltdown in Iowa.

Multiple presidential campaigns are anxious that the state party won't finish tabulating the enormous number of early votes by Saturday — and they want more transparency on how those votes will be divvied up to individual precincts.

The Nevada Democratic Party is well aware of the national scrutiny of its caucus, and officials are working hard to avoid a repeat of Iowa. That fiasco undermined confidence in the entire process, obscuring the real-time picture of how candidates performed and inviting mockery from Republicans. Jeff Weaver, a senior adviser to Bernie Sanders, is unsettled by the party's preparations ahead of the caucus.the data on the early voters, something they said they would do,” said Weaver. “So that begs the questions about whether they’re able to process all these — there’s been a huge early vote total. Are they able to process that in time for the caucus?”

But an official with Joe Biden's campaign voiced frustration with the state party over the number of ballots that were voided during the first two days of early voting. According to data provided to the campaign by the state party, about 776 ballots from early voting ballots on Saturday and Sunday — or 3 percent of the total — were scrapped because a voter failed to sign the ballot.

Can’t it wait until Monday?

Another misplaced, snarky headline from Politico. If you are reporting on anxiety, you should focus on the demolition of democracy happening in real time.

Caucuses are problematic There is a proper alternative It’s called a Primary And we should all be voting on the same day WA just mailed out their ballots. Their voters could be picking a candidate who after Super Tuesday may be declared “not viable”. It’s a flawed process

It wouldn't be a zoo, if the 1% would stop rigging $!^.

Nevada doesn't even matter.

STOP IT!! WE WANT ACCURATE COUNTS! SCREW THE MEDIA!

Here we go again😒

Iowa was the sorriest display I’ve ever seen.

Again?

It'll be a fiasco in NV too as the DNC will see to it all right up to the convention. They see the landslide coming and they can't stop it.

This is the moron Obama chose to lead the DNC. Sorry folks can we admit Obama let us down just a little. He never protected whistleblowers like he promised, he never went after bankers as he promised and he gave us a Republican healthcare policy in the ACA. Lost over 900 seats

Of, **cking course. Tom Perez.. .........................................

You're getting Buttigeig Dems... just swallow and take it. It's not your choice... it's their corporation and they'll decide who you can vote for. I thought we went over this in 2016?

TomPerezResign

Also Tom Perez: the NV results will be much more trustworthierish than IA. We have the caucus sites equipped with decibel meters and they are definitely not calibrated to the yays of centrists.

Politico, Tom Perez reminds me of a villain in a Russ Meyer movie. An incompetent villain.

TomPerez resign. When people fail, they resign.

Oh, Ill be releasing my precincts the same day.

Translation: given the incompetence of the DNC, please don't expect anything to work as it ought. Signed Tom Perez, Maladroit-in-Charge.

TomPerez would do well to work his ass off so that they are

I wonder why🤔🤔

In other words. They will needs some time to fix the result against Bernie. Sounds good Tom.

TomPerez RESIGN

Why is this happening? How incompetent are you TomPerez? Any in any other job would have been fired for poor conduct. RESIGN.

Lol

Tom Perez has had four years to prepare for this moment. Is it too much to ask Democrats to hold a fair election where everyone’s vote counts?

Here we go again. 😒

Bloomberg has a rocky debate debut in NevadaFormer New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg made his debut on a presidential debate stage -- and spent the night fending off bitter attacks from other Democrats as the race enters a critical phase. Understatement of the year weird headline, why not say 'Warren rips off Bloomberg's arms and beats him with them in the first debate'... that would've been more accurate.

Elizabeth Warren, on Fire in NevadaGiving a debate performance for the ages, Elizabeth Warren pulled back the curtain on Mike Bloomberg and reminded Democrats what they should be looking for in a nominee. Read JamilSmith's latest Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo she’s boring JamilSmith The far left should be rallying around ewarren instead of idiot BernieSanders SenSanders . Unless there is a major shift, dumb Bernie will be nominated & lose huge to realDonaldTrump . If by some miracle Bernie becomes President, the country & Dems will suffer for decades. JamilSmith That show was good but not good enough to help her. She should’ve came after Bernie instead. It’s her base but she’s for some reason protecting Bernie. That’s a slap in the face to her supporters. Warren is toast to me and I don’t trust her.
