Buy toilet paper stocks. The first thing Commies run out of.

The final day of the Nevada Democratic Party’s early presidential caucuses wrapped up Tuesday, as thousands of Democrats lined up at 55 locations around the state for their last shot at filing an early preference card before the traditional caucuses on Saturday.

The article posted here details that early voters had to wait in long lines at many precincts. I doubt many people voted operation chaos-style; one would have to be very committed to that to bother to wait up to two hours to cast a vote.
Buy toilet paper stocks. The first thing Commies run out of.
The “votes” are delegates to the state convention. I just tried to do a search for the “popular vote” and can’t find even one link. That in itself is strange IMO. As of this time they are up to 60% reporting.
Yes, another convoluted caucus that is ripe for abuse. I don’t understand how one early votes for a caucus that requires you to be present and participate. Hopefully, this is the last election cycle with caucuses.
So... I chose a Republican primary ballot. First vote was for Trump. Weld, Walsh, and someone else I don't remember were also on the ballot. OK, it's a democracy or whatever.
But then, I had to choose 14 delegates (or something) that were aligned with my candidate, but there were more than 14 Trump aligned delegates. I just chose the first 14, not knowing what else to do. I'm not even sure what I was voting for, to be honest, and I hadn't even heard of any of those people.
So, can someone explain to this to me? I went in expecting to cast a vote for the President and a few local election primary contests, which I did. But I really don't understand the rest of it, or why that was necessary.
Now Politico has a chart up that shows numbers that are more in line with results that include both Saturday and the early voting.
Bernie has almost 22K. Joe and Peter are just above 10K but separated by less than 100. But Joe’s percentage is so much higher, apparently because he racked up more vote in the largest counties and the percentages being reported are based on some sort of county delegate apportionment math.
Bernie appears to be ending up with almost the same overall percentage of the vote as he did in 2016, but there was only Hillary to get the rest.
46% in a large field is effectively a majority. Take candidates out of the race, and Bernie only has to get another 4% to be over 50%.
You were voting for the Republican delegates that will vote at the Republican convention.
This is a good point and I will review the delegate choices and see who they are and what they stand for.
Once I'm at the voting machine, there really wasn't much else to do rather than randomly select the delegates.
If I'd have known, I would have tried to do some research, perhaps even tried to contact the campaign to see which delegates they preferred. As I said, the ballot instructed to choose up to 14, but there were more than that many Trump choices.
The choices all resembled this:
John Doe (Trump)
Jane Smith (Trump)
etc.
