Chaos reigned early Tuesday evening in Nevada as Republican voters reported instances of ballot stuffing, failure to check if voters were registered and ballot collectors decked out in apparel representing their preferred candidate.
Multiple precincts were caucusing at Palo Verde High School in the Las Vegas suburb of Summerlin. In the after-work crush of voters that mobbed the school cafeteria, voters reported to the Washington Examiner instances of caucus volunteers being overwhelmed and failing to check identifications against voter registration lists, leaving open envelopes of completed ballots unattended and running out of ballots. There were some reports of voters filling out and handing in multiple ballots.
There were multiple reports on Twitter, meanwhile, of caucus volunteers who were charged with collecting ballots that were wearing apparel that clearly identified them as supporters of New York celebrity businessman Donald Trump.

He should be disqualified from winning Nevada.
Sounds like a typical Ted Cruz dirty trick.
LOL! All he has to do is say the truth once and that makes him less a liar than Rubio or Hitlery or any RAT.
This caucus thing sounds just like the Obama crush that took place in 2008.
My,my,my. The ignorance is ASTOUNDING. Electioneering is ALLOWED during a caucus. The fact that the author doesn’t know this fairly nullifies the rest of the article.
O the Hugh manatee.
I always thought that was the whole point of a caucus, the electioneering.
Hello?? Its a caucus and OK to wear clothing identifying your candidate. Record turnout is bound to create some confusion in the process.
No foul play, Trump won this fair and square. No other candidate comes even close.
Trump is clearly the choice of the people of Nevada.

Are you related to TBBT? Cause he’s been spamming multi posts on this topic and one was already going.
Indiana is a regular primary state. Nevada is like Iowa. The rules are different. I hear Colorado is like Nevada and Inowa.
There was no chaos. A couple places ran out of ballots and more were printed and delivered.
Oh, and while that was happening, Donald Trump crushed everyone else by receiving vastly higher numbers of legitimate votes.
Sleep well! Maybe you’ll have some inspirational dreams and tomorrow you can come back with a post about how Donald Trump clearly said “I really really hate The Bible, and you personally” as he walked by an old lady reading War and Peace in the park. I’m sure there’s a video of Trump in a park somewhere that you guys can add some helpful captions to.
Trump is very smug, like a grade school bully that just stole the nerdy kid’s lunch money.
This Cruz dirty tricks department FUD has already been posted a dozen times on FR in the last hours.
The only reported difficulties were a shortage of ballots due to the exceedingly high turnout:

There are no ‘poll workers’ at caucuses. These are informal events where you and your neighbors get together and try to convince each other whom you and they should vote for. Voting is then conducted on little paper slips passed around the tables and then collected and counted.
The guy in the pic isn’t collecting votes; he’s registering people who want to attend the caucus. Everyone involved are volunteers and wearing candidate gear is expected because the purpose of these meetings is to promote your candidate.
It works exactly like this in Colorado.
All of these claims of impropriety are complete BS FUD being spread by the losers in an attempt to prey on peoples ignorance as to what a caucus is and how they function to try to excuse their candidate’s MISERABLE performance.
Absolutely.
“Electioneering is ALLOWED during a caucus”
Allowed? Heck, that’s what people are SUPPOSED to do at a caucus!
So's Harry Reid. Hardly something to brag about.
I’m trying to spoon feed it slowly. Don’t want anyone to go into unnecessary shock.........
You must deal with the facts.
Fact is DT will be the next P.O.T.U.S.
