This one precinct in Las Vegas shows people waiting 3.5 hours for early voting

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.

"I've seen people walk away. Hopefully they go someplace else to vote," she said. "It's just too important."

Medicare for All warm up.

Early voting one can vote at any precinct in your county of registration. Since this is technically a caucus I think the same rules apply. This is driven by two things: Dems strong GOTV program(The Reps in the state suck at that). AND The Bernie Boys outrageous intimidation tactics at the caucuses in 2016.

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!

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.
