Re: "Seriously. The number of votes is UNDERWHELMING.."
Caucuses are weird. People gather in groups representing who they want to elect, and the precinct captain then looks at the size of the groups and decides whether there's a majority for someone. If there isn't, the groups haggle it out with one another and people have an opportunity to switch. Some groups (candidates) get eliminated due to insufficient support. It goes on like that until a winner is determined. The precinct captain then phones in the result for his precinct.

Or something like that. I don't think the citizens themselves get individual votes, though the size of the turnout is certainly recorded.

It's something like that. Maybe someone here can explain the process better.

The percentages for Bernie look overwhelming....

OMG.

But what is reality........

Did anyone else notice how FEW total ballots were cast in the democrat caucus? Think about this. Biden got 17 perceint of the total vote and yet not many votes.....

That got my attention and thought, I guess not that many people in Nevada are going to be voting Demo Rat in the election...

Seriously. The number of votes is UNDERWHELMING..
