A more diverse and more liberal electorate than in Iowa or New Hampshire is participating in the Nevada Democratic caucuses, albeit with a shared priority – defeating Donald Trump in November, per preliminary entrance poll results. rickklein reports:

Last night’s Democratic debate saw candidates uniting against Michael Bloomberg

Nevada voters line up to participate in the caucus at Cheyenne High School in North Las Vegas, Feb. 22, 2020.Follow along, as the ABC News team keeps a close watch of what happens in Nevada.3:25 p.m. ET: Lack of volunteers could present problems CBS News first reported that the campaigns were informed by party leaders about a"deficit of volunteers."

One Nevada Democratic Party official also told ABC News that the party has"the coverage that we planned for." According to the party, there is an average of eight volunteers per caucus site so roughly more than 2,000 volunteers across the state." Whites account for 65% of caucus-goers in preliminary ABC News entrance poll results, compared with about 90% in Iowa and New Hampshire. Hispanics make up 18% of Nevada participants; blacks, 10%.

Age and ideological groups also may be key. Sanders won a thumping 82% of caucus-goers under age 30 in 2016, and 62% of those 30-44, while his support from seniors plummeted to 24%. He was especially strong with young voters in Iowa and New Hampshire this year, as well. Also, 62% in Nevada support a government-run, single-payer health care system, again similar to Iowa and New Hampshire results, with a majority for one of Bernie Sanders’ signature issues . And, also like the previous contests, 43% call health care the top issue in their vote, out of four that were tested.

Are you surprised? M4A OnlyBernieBeatsTrump

Yes but no one is proposing government run healthcare. This is a misleading poll and they still vote in favor of it. Bernie is fighting for government funded health financing. Not government run healthcare. Two different things

_belle_curve_ Yawn. Without this, unicorns and fairy dust are more apt to occur. And this ain’t happening with a self-proclaimed socialist (recently renamed *democratic socialist) atop the ticket.

rickklein BWAHAHAHAHAHAHhhHa good luck with that!

rickklein If defeating Trump is driving people to the polls, many hope they don’t strike out with a Sanders vote. His agenda sounds nice, loaded with goodies, but won’t pass muster with the majority of voters whose universal support is critical to pass our divided congress.

And 62% apparently don't understand that creating a monopolistic system of healthcare will degrade quality and increase time to see doctors. And if you don't like it after you break the system, you will never be able to go back.

Picture the DMV with thermometers
