NV CAUCUS-GOERS: Please post your observations / live results in this thread!

The state legislation prevents them from doing it? I don't get it.

Most of the time you can vote on new rules, fire the chairman, etc, do whatever you have the votes for.

And if you can't, just turn off the lights and leave.

Yeah i moved away and my ex didn't care to find out when it was. She most likely didn't make it in time. i she texted me at 12 asking when it was! i was pissed but just told her to see if she can still vote.

Where did you live in Churchill?

Can't wait until next year when thousands of new people sign up for the forums to say they are sorry they voted for Romney instead of Paul because they thought he could win against Obama, yet didn't. Let me be the first to say, Fuck those people.

A good chunk of the people helping Ron do better, voted for someone else last time, and certainly those old enough to have done so likely voted for someone else in 1988.

inb4 Ron comes in 3rd because of Jewish 7pm vote.

KingNothing, this post is why there should be no specail rules for anyone. It creates annimosity. They deserve to have their votes counted, but by giving them special rules it opens the doors for them to be singled out. America is a melting pot, not one race, or one religion, etc. no one race/religion is above any other. But they have set themselves apart from our melting pot. They are saying they are deserving of special rules. I don't care what circumstances are, religion, race, etc they are, they should have to follow the same rules as everyone else. Im not against anyone having their vote counted but I can't remember any special election circumstance where one group was allowed to use different rules with the exception of voting facility issues.

Where are the 30K ID voters that were being discussed?

I have listened to the board for weeks, with the consistent bashing of us older voters and yet, it appears the young voters don't show up to caucus in big enough numbers today.

Time for them to put up or shut up.

I have my ballot ready to go. No slacking off here.

Someone please give an honest answer on how we are doing? Away from the tv (trust people here more anyways) and I don't want to sift through all these pages

It's confirmed that the evening caucus is not selecting delegates, correct? That is strictly in the day caucus?

 

[pauletteNV]

In this case? The Republican Party of Nevada gets to decide.

It's their decision to make. If they feel that appeasing a billionaire by holding a special session that offers more folks a chance to vote -possibly without impacting delegate selection- is a good choice, they're well within their right to make that choice.

Really? Who got to make the decision...the voters? No the NVGOP leadership who happen to be in Las Vegas with all the other odds makers. If they had asked the voters, they would have said no because they are smart enough to know that it would open a can of worms and a huge potential for voter fraud. What we tend to forget is that the Rs and the Ds are private entities and can make their own rules. "Appeasing" a bilionaire, or being bought off?

Looks like we could be edged out of second place by 1%, but it will be close.

I don't see what this has to do with the rule of law, though. The party can set up whatever rules it wants. Certain practices might turn voters off though. Sounds like this one bothered you, and rightly so. I imagine you are not alone. Will this stunt lose them money and support in the long run? That remains to be seen.

From a pragmatic standpoint, if delegates are not awarded the additional caucus time won't matter. .....or shouldn't, were it not for a shallow, idiotic, sycophantic media. As has been said, they'll no doubt report vote figures - not delegate counts.

DAM, forgot about that. Good point. I hate this 2 party system, we need more choices. Free Market to the rescue!
The problem is because of the GOP, Nevada included, we don't have a choice. Best to not point fingers at each other but to solve the problem instead. Japenese saying I think, from a movie , nevertheless very apt.

Young folks can't really bitch about being saddled with huge, HUGE debt ... because they aren't bothering to vote.

The young folk that do show up to vote, can still feel free to bitch about it though.

Do you have to be be jewish to vote at these special caucases tonight? If not someone should make a move to get younger people to vote tonight. Pull them out of the bars for an hour

I voted for Ron in '87/'88, including at the LP convention.

Young people don't show up. This has been true since forever. Any strategy that depends on only young people is doomed to fail.

You need the older people on your side if you want to win.
