The Nevada Democratic Party is well aware of the national scrutiny of its caucus, and officials are working hard to avoid a repeat of Iowa. That fiasco undermined confidence in the entire process, obscuring the real-time picture of how candidates performed and inviting mockery from Republicans. Jeff Weaver, a senior adviser to Bernie Sanders, is unsettled by the party's preparations ahead of the caucus.the data on the early voters, something they said they would do,” said Weaver. “So that begs the questions about whether they’re able to process all these — there’s been a huge early vote total. Are they able to process that in time for the caucus?”
But an official with Joe Biden's campaign voiced frustration with the state party over the number of ballots that were voided during the first two days of early voting. According to data provided to the campaign by the state party, about 776 ballots from early voting ballots on Saturday and Sunday — or 3 percent of the total — were scrapped because a voter failed to sign the ballot.
