So Nevada is having a new early caucus option this year. I’m not 100% sure how it works. Is there any reason to not just vote Bernie and skip the second choice option, or should I pick someone for some reason?

I'll obviously support whoever gets the Democratic nomination, but man are a bunch of Sanders supporters going to be in for a massive surprise once he's running a race where the opposition isn't intentionally soft balling him because they want/need to get support from his fans. Everyone complaining about how mean Hillary is being to Sanders is in for a massive wake-up call if the Republicans ever start taking him seriously.

Oh man Bernie is so hosed once republicans start comparing him with the dumbest, most corrupt president in our lifetimes.

Caucuses are not going away because of this. The App makers and Robby Mook are getting a loving raise for this poo poo.

"Give us a million dollars to fix it and it'll work perfect next time! Cheaper than having someone else make a whole new app!"

Meanwhile someone offers to make one that works in five minutes for 1% of the cost and they ignore him until the end of time because he's not some ex-Clinton staffer.

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.

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.

I'm wondering the same thing. I was looking forward to not being stuck in a room for three hours for this poo poo. :(

I have the app on my phone literally right now. You have to send in photo confirmation of what you put on the app.


Why is everyone jumping to crazy conspiracies on vote changing?

Well because the guy with ties to the secretive app developer also happens to be winning in a shitshow caucus. Are you so obtuse that you can't understand why people would find that suspicious? Even if you're right about everything, you have to at least admit this looks real fucky.

I dont think i can share the app so im not going to. It.has a bog standard android icon and is only accessible by both sms verification, email verification, and a specific precinct and pin number verification.

You canr get in without the physical phone, registered email addy, and the pin given to you by the county chair in your packet.

Its also not been seen in any screenshot shared here.


As for cheating, are you guys missing the part where the other campaigns have their own apps.

They all take photos of the math work sheet.

They all have their own count of the preference cards.

They all call in their results independently.

And the chair, with the secretary backing them, does all of it the same.

Its very hard to cheat this thing and very hard to hack the app since its manual input matched up with the photo proof.

Any theories on what went wrong? Something hosed up on the backend that couldn't handle stress?

Bernie's people were absolutely ready for this and only had up to 40% reporting by the time Pete declared himself winner. So I'm wondering if he did that based on any numbers at all, like 15%, or did he just say gently caress it and declare without even looking at anything?

Also they were all upset that AOC is too young for president.

So they are us and we are them.

58. Fifty eight Bernie sanders delegates were decertified from the Nevada caucus costing him the state in 2016. After he won the second round of delegates, they changed the rules to only count the first tier.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6swm3l19knc

The Iowa caucuses had captains literally saying the wrong numbers on C-Span ignoring the vote and giving the delegates to Clinton.

It happened the last election cycle, it's not conspiracy anymore when there is hard evidence and verified proof of the event.

That woman is running for state senate now with the DNC’s endorsement.

That Howard Schultz Starbucks guy that announced his campaign, immediately demonstrated that he was an out of touch rear end in a top hat that had no clue what he was talking about and was way out of his element in the public sector and almost immediately had to drop out took the bad rich guy candidate cake for me. Like he basically just had to start talking and the public was like NOPE.

I loved it. It was hilarious how obvious his “Let Billionaires Keep All Their Money” platform was.
