Democratic caucusgoers in Nevada stood in line for more than three hours at one early voting precinct Saturday, according to people at the front of the line.
The precinct -- Palo Verde High School in Las Vegas -- had six volunteers present as of 5 p.m., ET. One volunteer, who did not want to be identified, said, "We need more."
In contrast to the problems experienced by the Iowa Democratic Party with an app used for calculating votes, the issue of long lines at this one precinct stems from large turnout, and not enough volunteers to process them.
Molly Forgey, a spokeswoman for the Nevada Democratic Party, said she was not aware of the long lines at this location, but the turnout was high in a lot of places and she had heard of a few other early voting stations that were busy. The NDP is addressing issues as they come up individually.
"If you're in line by the closing time you'll be able to vote but we're also dispatching additional volunteers to help speed up wait times," Forgey said.
Debbie Curtis, a teacher in the state, told CNN she hopes state party officials will "learn from this" ahead of state's caucuses on February 22.

Medicare for All warm up.
Feel the Bern.
I thought they were a CAUCUS State!!! WHY ARE THEY VOTING EARLY????
Looking for signs of GOP infiltrators. No MAGA hats.
You cann vote anywhere in Nevada...not just where you are registered???
That was my same thought.
They’re Dims - it’s so they can vote early and THEN caucus.
If the Democrats want to imitate the Canadian health care system, they should force caucus-goers to wait for five months before they are allowed to vote—then wait another several months to announce the result.
Bonus—most of the voters will have died by then!
“Look for....the union label
Or we’ll beat your face in...if we are able”
IIRC, there were only about 12,000 caucus votes cast in Nevada in 2016.
Just 12,000.
They need an app, long lines for that small number of voters?!
If you have to do something four or five times, it's best to get started early. :)
Only DimRats would stand in line for 6 hours to do something today that would take 5 minutes tomorrow.
1% very poor number expected.
