Nevada GOP says reports of problems during caucus don’t warrant action
Nevada Republican Party officials say they're not planning to take action on reports of disorganization, procedural irregularities and other problems stemming from Tuesday's GOP caucuses.
News media and social media buzzed Tuesday with accounts of long lines at caucus sites, inadequate supplies of ballots at some locations, double-counting of votes, failure to check IDs and volunteers wearing clothing promoting individual candidates.
In response, the state GOP said Wednesday it had looked into the concerns but didn't feel follow-up action was justified. Amid heavier-than-expected turnout, they said, caucus volunteers and party organizers did an admirable job of following rules and keeping the process moving. The caucus drew more than 75,000 participants, more than double the 33,000 who turned out in 2012.
The party said it was confident that the results weren't tainted.
