I'm hearing from mult. campaigns about some isolated, issues with precinct-level #NVCaucus operations. In some sites the precinct leads who're supposed to run things didn't show up leaving folks scrambling — and some campaign vols asked to step in
At a few other sites, hear the precinct leads were still waiting on early vote info shortly before caucuses began. They literally can't caucus without this — need those numbers to get to the second round of voting.
To be clear, doesn't sound widespread — w/ caucuses there's always last-minute scrambling. But something to keep an eye on. State party says things running smoothly, say avg. of 8 vols. per caucus site(2K statewide) and as of noon, 1K+ vols had already logged into caucus calc
Statement from @nvdems spox: "We have been recruiting and training volunteers all the way through this morning to ensure we have the capacity we need and we are confident in having the necessary volunteer numbers to cover caucus sites today. ..."
"...We have thousands of volunteers working hard across the state today and this is not occurring at the vast majority of sites and precincts.
It's common and not unusual for campaign volunteers to help with running precincts on Caucus Day - this happened in 2016 and in 2008."
