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?

Smells like dead fish......................

What’s the betting they were mostly Bernie ballots?

Nevada: Hey now. We CAN out FUBAR Iowa. Let’s do it.

The good news—the fake ballots from the DNC all had signatures!

[DannyTN]

You voted wrong. Your ballot is invalid.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Maybe the ballot required them to print their name. In Tennessee you have to sign beside your printed name in a ledger before you receive a ballot.

"I'd like to help you, son - but you're too dumb to vote!"

Apologies to Eddy Cochran!

notified by text message

This discriminates against rural voters who have unreliable or non-existent cell service--or old folks who rarely look at or do not even have a cell phone.

Think of it as the Democrats in action!

All were for Sanders?

Wouldn't surprise me.

Same here in Florida, but the ballot has no name on it ..................

[themidnightskulker]

At least we have an idea of what the default, initial level of cheating is.

[COBOL2Java]

Democrat Party: “We’re sorry, but you didn’t vote the way we wanted. That counts as an error.”

[Red Badger]

How do they correspond a ballot to a cellphone number?..............Fishy, fishy........

“FUBAR”! Funny to see that considering I just watched Saving Private Ryan.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

TRANSLATION: They voted for the wrong candidate.

[BusterDog]

For the love of God, stop the war on democracy. Let these people’s voices be heard! The Democrats are disenfranchising dumb people who can’t follow directions!

[cnsmom]

I wonder if the GOP is having similar problems.

[FightforFreedomCA]

OK, now the Democrats are just looking incompetent on purpose. What’s the end game? /s

There’s places where cell phones don’t work in the US?

That’s the most pathetic thing I’ve ever heard :)
