The Nevada caucuses — the first major vote of the Democratic presidential nominating contests in the Western United States — will be held Saturday. The results could give some candidates significant momentum. Or, if the caucuses play out like those in Iowa earlier this month, the results could lead to prolonged confusion and calls for recounts.
The volunteers who run the caucuses Saturday will be given data from the early votes and will essentially have to pretend the early voters are present. Story continuesIn Iowa, some viability miscalculations meant that candidates who did not have enough supporters still received delegates. In Iowa, some precincts made calculation errors that led them to award the wrong number of delegates to candidates in some cases. This year, for the first time, both Iowa and Nevada must release raw vote totals — the number of people in each candidate’s group in the first and final alignments. This means that caucus math can be checked by the public.
County delegates are real people, and precincts cannot send fractions of people to the county conventions, so the resulting numbers have to be rounded. In this example, 1.28 would round down to 1, and the group would receive one delegate.
