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."

When Democrats can’t figure out how to do something, they just dispose of it. Noted.
Dirty Harry is still alive?
Translation from gangster Dingy Harry
its too hard to manipulate the results with a caucus.
Sooooo - caucusing has worked fine for over 100 years, never had a problem but now, suddenly in 2020 - nobody can do it right?
As if Democrats can actually handle paper ballot elections properly anyway? Because they certainly couldn’t in 2000
Just propaganda for removing the electoral college.
lol
Harry WHO????
It’s a shame ain’t it?
“It doesn’t work for us anymore, so let’s just do away with it.” - Democrat strategy for everything they can’t manipulate/cheat effectively with
Where are the other Dem Party Elders? Not many left now, who can command any attention from Bernie’s Boys.
I’m surprised (tho relieved) that Barack O. is not throwing his two cents of opinions into the pot.
After 2016, I’m of a same mind when it comes to our Caucuses.
The smell from those things was disgusting that year.
Toldja this was coming
The caucus system makes it harder for them to cheat
What about Democratic mantra “all votes count?”
Or it means they figured out how to rig the primaries too. A lot of elections have been overturned in court. It is a Democratic specialty.
When Democrats lose they demand we change the rules. Think of the Electoral College.
Looks liek Dingy Harry does not have the clout in NV to dictate the outcome like he used to.
C’mon, Harry! Really give back the power back to the peeps and ditch those cheaty super-delegates!
Get back on your treadmill Harry.
I thought this ahole died years ago
