The Nevada caucuses are around the corner, as Democratic presidential hopefuls face their first test in a state with a significant non-white segment of its electorate.
The total number of early voters who participated in each precinct.The total number of county convention delegates won by each candidate at each precinct.
In addition, after all the results are in, the party will release the allocation of national delegates. As in Iowa, different candidates could finish with the lead in raw votes and delegates if margins are tight or if there's significant realignment. But the delegate race is the only one that explicitly helps decide the party's nominee.
In previous cycles, the Nevada rules allowed candidates to try to sway delegates to defect at local conventions, divorcing the caucus results from the ultimate delegate allocation. But now, the proportion of national delegates awarded to each candidate will be locked in on caucus night.If, after the delegate math is done, two or more candidates are still tied in a way that affects how the delegates are awarded, that triggers a game of chance.
Rules dictate that candidates draw playing cards to break the tie. High card wins, aces high, with a tie defaulting to the suit in the following order . The outcome depends on the tie that needs breaking, but either the candidate with the high card will have the result rounded up or the candidate with the lowest card will have the result rounded down.
