In Nevada, party leaders are acutely aware of the failures of Iowa and are keen not to repeat those mistakes in Saturday's caucuses.

The precinct chairs must then fill in individual fields showing the support in the room for each candidate. A large version of the reporting worksheet should be displayed in the precinct room, with the precinct secretary writing along, so attendees and observers, as well as caucus leaders, will be doing the math separate from the calculator to ensure the numbers the iPad spits out are correct.Nevada Democrats say all precinct chairs in the state will have the option to not use the calculator on the iPad if they choose or if the technology isn't working for whatever reason.
The biggest difference between the calculator version of this exercise and the paper version is that if they use the paper, the chairs will have to manually count the supporters of each candidate from a list of ballot selections they are given. When they are using the iPad, that information is already autopopulated and counted.
