The Nevada Democratic Party is notifying about 1,000 early-voters that their ballots have been voided for errors, the Nevada Independent reported Thursday.

The number of voided ballots account for 2.8 percent of 36,000 ballots cast in three of the first four days of early voting. Election officials said they are counting another 39,000 ballots, which could result in more unusable ballots.

An election official told the Independent that most of the errors were from people who failed to sign their ballots. Affected voters are being notified by text message and will have the opportunity to participate in-person at Saturday's caucuses, according to the newspaper.

The Hill has reached out to the state's Democratic Party for comment.

The report came has added to anxiety about whether the caucuses will run smoothly after the debacle with the Iowa caucuses earlier this month, which resulted in a recanvass called by the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

“”If they didn’t sign it how do they know whose it was?””

Good question. Maybe they were numbered?

This may be deliberate, so when Trump crushes the RAT candidate in November they can call the results into question.

> Iowa Iowa's 🐀s 2.0

Iowa's 🐘s Caucus 1.0 worked perfectly.

Now, Nevada's 🐀s are calling theirs another caucus, but they are allowing early voting?? I don 't think they know what a 'caucus' is. It's a live meeting during which attendees vote. How can there be absentee 'voting' days before 'caucus?' Sounds like a primary to me. And then I suppose they'll do their convoluted calculations before determining how many delegates are awarded (not to Bernie.) All the while continuing to whine that Hillary was robbed after "winning the popular vote."

Maybe they handed out ballots without a signature of the recipient but the poll worker initialed it.
