In effort to avoid an Iowa-like debacle, Nevada Democrats have hired a call center with 200 paid operators and dedicated reporting lines to help intake results from caucus sites around the state this weekend.
There are only 252 caucus sites, which will make it possible for officials to dispatch tech-savvy volunteers to most of them.
Already, the party has had to invalidate a little more than 1,000 ballots from the first three days of early voting out of four days total. Most of those were voided because they lacked signatures, a Nevada Democratic Party official told NBC News. This is the first time Nevada has offered early voting in its caucuses and turnout was high, with some 77,000 Democrats participating — nearly as many as the 84,000 that participated in the entire process in 2016. But it's unclear if that means turnout will be high again on Saturday, or if people just shifted when they vote.
