CNN: Despite Underlying Concerns, Nevada Party Officials Are Confident Apps Would Work on Saturday

‘It’s those specific caucus rules that most people are concerned about here’

RUSH EXCERPT:

ZELENY: “Anderson, party officials are trying to express confidence, campaigns are trying to express confidence, so it does not suppress the vote, but underneath the confidence, there is some concern. This is the reason why, there’s never been early voting before for caucuses. The idea of caucusing is to go into a room with your friends and neighbors, have a discussion then realign if your top choices don’t make it. What they’re trying to do now is have early Ving for four days, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and hold on to those votes and have the actual caucuses on Saturday and sort of mix them up. That is the complicating factor here. But there are some, you know, very specific rules that are going on that people simply aren’t familiar with. So the technology is one concern, but also the rules of simply you have to vote for more than one person. I talked to a voter today here in Reno, she said she went on Saturday and tried to early vote. She stood in line and stood in line. It took too long. Her children went on Sunday. It took too long. She said she’s going back tomorrow and is going to wait as long as it takes so the lines are an issue. Sometimes over three hours at a time. It’s those specific caucus rules that most people are concerned about here, the Mering those results on Saturday, Anderson.”
