The most unprofessionally run group I have ever seen. My wife and I will never caucus again.

my friend and i were in the uncommited section we were only allowed to vote once and they did not accept our second vote when it would have put the chairperson's candidate second i said i would call the ACLU if i could not cast a second vote for a canidate. she then let us vote but said it didn't matter because she would have her candidate declared the winner. what is wrong with this kind of politics? BRING BACK THE PRIMARY WHERE AT LEAST OUR VOTE COUNTS.. WHAT A SHAM

Today's democratic caucus was very exciting, what with all the candidates in town stumping all week and meeting with neighbors and friends to caucus. There were 2 precincts at our location, which made for a little confusion but it was interesting to watch the tight representation race between Obama and Clinton in both precincts. It was great to be part of this process.

Being a union member I had been contacted at least a dozen times by phone and on 3 different occasions people came to my door asking me to make sure I attend the caucus which was held at the Desert Vista Community Center in Sun City. I went early because I knew parking was at a premium. I managed to park but those who came a few minutes later might have just walked because by 11 AM there was no parking for for least a 1/2 mile away (or more). When I entered the building I couldn't believe the chaos. There was complete disorganization! The place was so full it was impossible to move and it was definitely a fire hazard. This building is not large enough to accommodate the hordes of people trying to exercise their right to vote at the caucus. I, as many others did, found a back door to walk out because it would have been impossible to leave the way we came in. If we had stayed it probably would have been hours until everyone could be accommodated. In brief, this was a big disaster!!!

Most states have primaries and that's what Nevada should have. Besides the problem noted above many Nevadans were disenfranchised e.g. because they have to work on Saturdays or they are Jews observing the Sabbath.

Hopefully, this is the last time Nevada will have a caucus.

We were at Mojave High School. Our room had two precincts, as did I believe all the rooms. Our room and the two on each side of us were about 50 to 60 percent Romney, and no one else had more than 10 percent. We had 50 people in two precincts, and Romney had 30 of us.
