Greetings from the debate in Las Vegas! I'm Seema Mehta, a political reporter on the ground in Nevada.

During caucuses there earlier this month, an app malfunctioned and then a phone line was overrun, delaying the announcing of results for three days.

The Nevada Democratic Party scrapped plans to use the same app in their caucuses, and is now using a combination of iPads, Google documents and phone lines.
“We've spent a lot of time going to school on Iowa,” Perez said. “We've trained over 3,000 people through over 1,000 trainings. We literally have another 50 training on the books between now and Friday. We are working hand in glove with the state party, and the state party is really strong.”
