Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) called on the Democratic Party to abandon the caucus system on Sunday in a statement released following the caucuses held in his home state.
Reid said in a statement that the Nevada Democratic Party "did a good job" with Saturday's caucuses following the chaos in Iowa after its first-in-the-nation contest, while calling on the caucus system to be dropped entirely.
“I am so proud of the Nevada Democratic Party, its talented staff, and the thousands of grassroots volunteers who have done so much hard work over the years to build this operation. We have the best state party in the country, and that was shown again this past week after another successful caucus that featured a historic four days of early voting with more than 10,000 new voter registrations," Reid said of the Nevada Democratic Party.
“With so much Democratic enthusiasm in Nevada, demonstrated again by the tremendous caucus turnout this year, I believe we should make the process of selecting our nominee even more accessible," Reid continued, adding: "That’s why I believe it’s time for the Democratic Party to move to primaries everywhere."

The caucus is where the cheating goes on. Primaries are much cleaner...you are confused.
Hey Harry. For once in my life I agree with you - get rid of all caucuses. Let’s start with the Marxist “Progressive Congressional Caucus” (the Castro, Sandinista, Maduro/Chavez cheering crowd); the racist “Black Congressional Caucus”; and the “Pro-America Caucus”.
Oh wait! The Dems never had a “Pro-America Caucus” and never will. Sorry !!!
HARRY HAS IT BACKWARDS; CAUCUSES SHOULD GET RID OF HARRY.
Even when his brother.."or" a exercise "machine" beats the hell out of him...
The guy is a POS..and has always been a POS
The guy who played Reid in Casino was Dick Smothers. They used the actual statements made by Reid in the dialogue. Reid was always a snake. Most all of our political figures are.
Is this malignant cockroach still alive? Why?
Yeah nobody cheats in primaries because ballot boxes don’t appear or disappear like they do in elections.
We need to go back to pencil and paper ballots where all votes are counted independently by both parties. Differences must be reconciled. Instead we spend billions for swamp machines.
Allow caucuses to discuss votes and candidates but final vote is on paper. No apps and no internet connection. We don’t need immediate results for the media so they get eyeballs.
