REPUBLICAN PROCESS Voters must be a resident of Nevada and a registered member of the Republican Party. You can register or switch registration at the precinct. During the caucus, a supporter of each candidate may give a short nominating speech. After the speeches, voting is conducted by secret ballot. Following the voting, the caucus chooses delegates for the county caucuses on March 12. This year, for the first time, delegates to the national convention will be proportionally bound to vote for candidates on the first ballot based on the outcome of the precinct-level voting. 30 delegates are proportionally allocated to Presidential contenders based on the statewide vote. Each candidate receives (candidate's statewide vote) × 30 ÷ (total statewide vote) delegates. Round fractions to the nearest whole number. If there are too few delegates allocated, the candidate nearest the rounding threshold receives the additional delegate. If too many delegates are allocated, the candidate furthest the threshold looses a delegate. Special crazy Nevada rule: A candidate who drops out between the precinct and state caucuses can choose to do one of three things with their delegates. They can choose to hold them, in which case they remain bound to that candidate on the first ballot at the convention, even though they are no longer contesting the nomination. They can choose to release their delegates, in which case they become unbound. Lastly, they can choose to proportionally reallocate their delegates among the candidates remaining in the race prior to the state convention, based on their results in the precinct caucuses. Full explanation here.

whydirt posted:How badly would Carson or Kasich have to do in NV for them to drop out before Super Tuesday? The rumor going around is that Carson's going to drop after NV. He was basically done after SC but didn't want to let down the people they have on the ground in NV, so he decided to stay in a few more days. We'll see. Carson had $3m in cash last week. Kasich had $1m. Kasich is purposefully skipping NV and focusing on MA and VT. I think he's stubborn enough to stay in for another week, but the idea he'll be able to raise enough cash after coming in 2nd in a couple Super Tuesday states to stay in for MI and OH is delusional.

Foo posted:Does the Nevada Republican caucus work in the same way that the Iowa Republican caucus does? That is, do a bunch of people crowd into a room and write down on a slip of paper their preferred candidate, which is then counted by hand? Yes. And with record turnout and variable starting times, this will go smooth as butter.

Brannock posted:Wasn't the 2012 turnout really low because it was the first time they'd held a caucus in Nevada? No, they did it in 2008 as well. Both times have been a disaster, though that was partly due to Ron Paul. https://twitter.com/RalstonReports/status/702153147817394176 Hence the thread title.

Kings Of Calabria posted: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. 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.
