Wasn't the 2012 turnout really low because it was the first time they'd held a caucus in Nevada?

Both times have been a disaster, though that was partly due to Ron Paul. https://twitter.com/RalstonReports/status/702153147817394176 Hence the thread title.

That's the dream.

Caucuses make me feel like a complete idiota. I have read and watched so many explanations that try to simplify it or use metaphors or turn it into a simplified graphical representation, but I just CANNOT get it beyond the very basics. Is there one anybody can recommend? If I had to take a test on it right now I'd be lucky to get a D minus, so a beginner's guide is fine. I guess Nevada's if it's gotta be State-specific.

Living in the Pacific timezone will probably be enough to see it get called for Trump. Montasque posted:Yeah they'll most likely call it early for Trump(if the polling is close to correct) and the slap fight for second will carry into the debate. A decisive Trump win with the rest of the results unknown would be pretty great for Trump, because that'd mean that he'd be the only one with a narrative for the next few days of media coverage. They can't keep doing the Rubementum, declare-victory-from 2nd/3rd/5th thing if they don't know what position he landed yet. And isn't Rubio skipping the after-party anyway? So he won't even be in place to give some kind of speech, while Trump's up there dishing up a third consecutive victory. I mean this is assuming that the chaos of the caucus system or under/overperforming polls doesn't knock Trump out of the top spot, but if they don't, he's going to have a hell of a lot of momentum going into Super Tuesday. Even that last debate is probably a bigger danger to Rubio than anyone else since everyone'll be looking to force another glitch moment and he can't just blend into the scenery anymore.

Why don't the networks seem to be covering this in the same way they've been covering all the /primaries? CNN is even doing a town hall at 8 so presumably won't even be discussing any results until 10. Is it just because they all know there will be nothing to report for a while?

I guess Nevada's if it's gotta be State-specific. http://www.nevadagopcaucus.org/what-are-caucuses-.html 4. What happens at a Republican caucus? If you will be attending your first caucus and aren’t sure how it works, don’t worry, many of your fellow Republican caucus goers will be attending their first caucus too. Fortunately, Republican caucuses are simple and easy to understand. All Republican caucuses in Nevada will start between 5:00pm and 7:00pm on Tuesday, February 23rd, 2016. At that time you will sign in with a local Republican volunteer who will verify that you are a registered Republican. A government issued photo I.D. is required. The caucus will begin by electing a caucus chair and secretary. These two people will be in charge of running the precinct caucus. Generally the local county volunteers that called the meeting to order are elected by voice vote. After that, there will be an election of delegates and alternate delegates from your precinct caucus to the County Convention in the spring. Delegates have the right to vote at the County Convention. And each delegate has an alternate delegate who will vote in their place in case they are unable to attend the County Convention. Each precinct caucus will be allocated a certain number of delegates and alternates. Anyone may run as a delegate or as an alternate delegate, and the individuals that receive the most votes are elected to represent the precinct at the county convention. Most people vote for delegates and alternate delegates that support the same candidate that they do. It’s the most important part of the caucus and we’ll explain why a little later. After that, the caucus chair will ask if anyone wants to submit, in writing, an issue to be considered in the county platform. The platform is a document that expresses the beliefs and values of the county party. Issues submitted at the precinct caucus are debated and voted on at the county convention in March, and those that pass become part of the official county platform. Once all platform issues have been submitted, the caucus chair will ask one person supporting each Republican candidate to stand up and briefly tell everyone attending why they should support their candidate. After each of the short speeches, we will all cast our vote in the Presidential Preference Poll using paper ballots. For most precincts, the whole process takes about 30-60 minutes. All meetings will end by 9:00pm.

Is this the vote where all the precincts have to take a photo of the ballot papers and email them to the state GOP chair to get counted? Should work out great.
