LAS VEGAS - The week of chaos that followed the Iowa caucuses has prompted growing concern about problems in the next state to use that presidential nominating process, Nevada.

Voters and campaigns have become increasingly mistrustful of the caucus format since the Iowa vote and are worried that further trouble could throw the Democrats’ 2020 primary process into complete disarray. In Nevada, those fears have only deepened since the state’s Democratic Party was forced to make abrupt changes to its caucus process because it had planned to use an iPad app developed by the same company that developed the mobile application used in Iowa.

Top Nevada Democratic Party officials have tried to assure nervous Democratic voters that their fears are overblown. “Our main objective is running the most expansive, transparent and accessible caucus that ensures Nevadans’ voices are heard,” said Molly Forgey, a spokeswoman for the Nevada State Democratic Party.

But despite that show of confidence, multiple Democrats said that the influential former Senate majority leader Harry M. Reid (Nev.) has been working to soothe candidate concerns about potential caucus drama. Many of his former aides are working for different campaigns nationally and here in Nevada.

“In Nevada, we have built the best state party operation in the country,” Reid said in a Twitter message posted Tuesday. “I am 100% confident that what happened in Iowa will not happen in Nevada.”
