NevadaCaucus was marred by voting rules confusion, calculation glitches and reporting delays despite efforts to avoid the issues that plagued Iowa caucuses, eculliford reports
LAS VEGAS - Nevada caucus officials and voters at multiple sites on Saturday reported voting rules confusion, calculation glitches and delays in reporting tallies - despite efforts to avoid the issues that plagued Iowa’s caucuses earlier this month.

Perez called the Iowa chaos a “lesson learned.” Asked if caucuses should be ended, he said: “We are going to have that conversation after we beat Donald Trump.” She said that the party had worked to accommodate a high influx of results, expanding capacity for the party’s phone hotline and using two-source verification processes, such as having precinct chairs text photos of their caucus reporting sheet to state party staff. She also said they had built systems with multiple redundancies, such as keeping paper records.
