The Nevada State Democratic Party will use Scanned Paper Ballots during its Crucial Upcoming Caucus in a Bid to avoid a Repeat of Iowa’s Tech-Troubled Presidential Nominating contest.
A Memo sent to Campaigns on Monday confirms Early Voters will Fill Out Paper Ballots that will later be sent to Party-Run “Processing Hubs” for Scanning and Storage.
Organizers of Nevada’s closely Watched Third-in-the-Nation Nominating Contest last week Ditched the Cell Phone App Software widely Blamed for Iowa’s Vote-Reporting Fiasco.
But Officials aren’t completely Abandoning Caucus Day Technology.
The Memo says Caucus Goers will Check in at their Voting Precinct on a “PDF Voter Roll” Downloaded to Party-Purchased iPads.
Voters will then be Handed a Card with a “Voter PIN” Number needed to Correctly Fill Out a Google Form that will help Track of Participants and Streamline Data Collection. Officials said Paper Sign-In Sheets will be Available if needed.
After Writing down their Presidential Preferences, Early Voters will Slip their Ballot and Voting Card into Boxes Watched over by some 3,000 Caucus Volunteers around the State.
The Memo goes on to say that Presidential Campaigns will Receive Data about who Voted Early, but Not the Results of the Votes. The Party has said it will Not Release those Tallies until In-Person Caucusing Wraps up on Feb. 22nd.
State Party Spokeswoman Molly Forgey has repeatedly Denied Reports blaming Officials for Leaving Campaigns Out of the Loop. She said Officials have been in “regular contact” with 2020 Presidential Hopefuls.
Early Caucusing in Nevada begins on Feb. 15th at any one of 80 Locations around the State. The State’s Closed Caucus system is Open to Registered Democrats who will be over the age of 18 by Nov. 3rd.
