Long lines, too few ballots at Dem caucus locations

[n2doc]

Mark Robison,

Democratic caucus-goers in Northern Nevada are reporting a wide range of problems from long lines and chaos to being turned away and too few paper ballots. (This story will be updated as reports come in.)

• Shaw Middle School: Antoinette Jacobs described the caucus scene for her precinct as a “fiasco.” One person for Bernie Sanders and one person for Hillary Clinton were allowed to speak for one-minute each, with no time for questions or discussion, she said.

“The undecideds had to decide after hearing those two people with nothing else,” she said, adding that the bulk of the time was used to read letters celebrating the Democratic Party from people such as Harry Reid and Catherine Cortez Masto.

“We had about 26 in a classroom,” Jacobs said. “There were four for Bernie, four undecided and 18 for Hillary. ... We got three delegates out of that and Bernie none out of that.”

1. What an as asinine way to conduct an election.

2. Freaking ridiculous.

If that is Democracy, then we might as well just throw darts at a map to determine who is the nominee.
