Well the good thing is that it probably will be scrapped before Nevada. There's no way they're going to use it now, even if they announce some kind of update/patch.

Is there enough time? Early voting starts in 12 days.

Caususes are trash but are probably better for candidates like Bernie who have younger and thus more enthusiastic and able bodied supporters willing to spend all night running around a high school gym and yelling at people.

The DNC had an app to report the caucus results but it broke. They had a backup phone hotline but it also broke. They have no results for now and we don't know when they will. Pete has basically claimed victory already, Bernie has also implied victory.

Current rumor mill: Pete and Bernie got top two in some order, then Warren, then Biden in fourth or even maybe fifth. Biden faceplanting is the one clear piece of good news.

Being in Nevada I wonder is early voting the right call now or should I just go through the caucus shitshow? Like what avenue has the higher chance of my vote counting for poo poo.

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

Early voting is probably the right call. The day of will likely be a complete shitshow.

The app that the Iowa Democratic State Party used to collate the results crashed spectacularly. Currently we only have results for less 2% of precincts, when we should be done with this by now. From reports that I've heard, the State Party might actually know the results right now, but Biden's lawyers are challenging them, so the Party is holding off on releasing them. The candidates might already know what happened. Bernie made a speech that *sounded* like a victory speech, but wasn't. Mayo Pete just put out a tweet saying that he won.

So, basically, no one knows what gently caress is going on.

It was the state party, not the DNC.

my basic feeling is the top 3 candidates had staff or volunteers in 90% of the caucus sites and probably know who won unless it's literally too close to call.

I'm in California so in a couple days my ballot will come in the mail, I'll fill it out, and then drop it back in the mail. The week after that I'll check the Sec of State's website to verify they received my ballot. That's the process.

This caucus poo poo is incredibly stupid and anyone who is proud or defensive of it should be summarily executed for the threat to democracy that they pose.

At the end of a caucus, you know how your own precinct voted, right? So they couldn't possibly fake the votes without getting tons of people saying "wait, the official numbers for my precinct are wrong," right?
