Nevada Democrats said they will not use the failed app that forced Iowans to tabulate votes by hand and marred the results reporting process.
Democrats in Nevada are seeking to tamp down on fears that their caucuses Saturday will be a repeat of the botched contest in Iowa that kicked off the primary election season earlier in the month.
People wait in line to vote on the final day of early voting for the upcoming Nevada Democratic presidential caucus on February 18, 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada.LAS VEGAS — Democrats in Nevada seek to tamp down fears their Saturday caucus will repeat the botched contest in Iowa, which kicked off presidential primary season earlier in the month.
Unlike the app used in Iowa, the calculator tool will not require volunteers to download anything onto their personal devices. Voting will be reported via a "secure hotline" and verified using either paper sheets hand-delivered in a secure envelope or the calculator tool.
"I am feeling comfortable," said Donna West, the chair of the Clark County Democratic Party who will serve as a site lead on Saturday. She said she had been meeting with precinct chairs for a month, and will be meeting with them again hours before the caucuses begin to walk through everything.
