Nevada caucus goers report IDs not being checked, ballot shortages
Nevada Republicans are caucusing in high schools, churches, and conference rooms from Las Vegas to Reno, but not everything's going according to plan, several participants are reporting on social media.
Some say that IDs aren't being checked, not every caucus site has proper signage, and there aren't enough ballots, The Guardian reports. After hearing reports of double voting, a GOP official told Jon Ralston that the party is taking the prospect "very seriously" and will review ballots and sign-in sheets. The official said that when some caucuses ran out of ballots, "we were prepared for that and more were on site in a matter of minutes. Other thing to know is because you have multiple precincts in one spot, not the entire place was in chaos, just a select few that were rushed, which contained the problems."
Other Twitter users posted photos of caucus site volunteers wearing Donald Trump t-shirts and hats, which raised eyebrows because during state and federal elections, volunteers at Nevada polls are not allowed to wear anything showing support for specific candidates. The caucuses are being run by the party, however, under their own rules, and a Nevada GOP official told BuzzFeed that there's no ban on wearing a candidate's attire. Catherine Garcia
