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

[CTRattlesnake]

Voting underway in Washoe County. Seems to be a heavily Romney crowd with a smattering of Ron Paul #nvcaucus

gingrich picking up major momentum the last 30 minutes. Impressive numbers for him.

I'm still looking for an answer, can anyone tell me how second with less than 50% of the votes does us any good? This is frustrating.

Delegates are allocated proportionally to the votes. For every 3.57% of votes, a candidate gets 1 delegate.

 

[Badger for Paul]

they are now bound until convention, whether state or national I'm not sure. If only state, the majority can vote an establishment slate, I guess. No clue. But that would ensure our boycott of the general. Again.

Bound in the first round of voting on a proportional basis only, but then unbound after that. If Mittens has over 50% of the delegates at the state convention, they can just nominated Mitt supporters into all of the national delegate spots so that if there is more than 1 round of voting, then Mitt will go from having about 50-60% of Nevada's delegates in the first round of nominating at the national convention to 100% in rount 2 and beyond. Please correct me if I'm wrong with my understanding of this.

I am seeing people reporting total votes with Gingrich at 19% and Paul at 17%. This cannot be. I have only seen a couple precincts where Gingrich was over Paul.

This is depressing. The kids didn't show up? And if Romney gets more than half the delegates then he will get all the national delegates.

Still, maybe this will sink Newt and Santorum.

GOTV needs serious improvement. Maybe robo-wake-up calls? Or caucus buddies?

Buddy System and take an oath for you and your buddy to GOTV.

#NVCaucus Romney giving 11% to Ron Paul over / under on the two dominating state 86 % of vote. Super bowl and caucus same weekend bad idea

 

[Lord Xar]

There's been a few where Gingrich had 20-40 votes so those add up pretty quickly over our wins where we get 10-15 and Grinchy gets 3-4.

Precinct in Reno (Pine Middle) had Romney & Santorum tied at 7 apiece out of 17. Paul & Gingrich not looking good in others either #nvcaucus

Here in NV we will be bound to vote according to the straw poll vote percentages on the first ballot at the national convention. After the first vote (if no one wins a majority) we will be able to vote for anyone.

No one knows how delegates will be elected at the State Convention. You are assuming that a majority gets to elect a slate of delegates which might not be the case. Delegates may be elected proportionally at the State Convention and if that's the case, we will still win delegates even though they are bound on the first ballot.

I thought it was a given we would finish in second place after 2008....didn't think we would have to sweat it out with Gingrich.

The campaign dropped the ball. They have done nothing since NH to get any press.

I hope that is the way it is.
