Nevada Avoids Another Vote Counting Fiasco

Carolyn Presutti

   LAS VEGAS - Nevada Democratic caucus organizers were under a microscope
   Saturday while Democraticpresidentialcandidates and their supporters
   anxiously awaited the results of thevoting.

   There was no doubt that Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders was headed for a
   crushing victory over his half-dozen rivals, including former Vice
   President Joe Biden, formerMayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana,
   and Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.

   But the votes trickled out during late afternoon and early evening.
   State DemocraticParty officials struggled to avert the vote-counting
   fiasco that embarrassed state and national party officials in Iowa in
   early February, when they employed a vote-counting app that was wrongly
   coded and produced unreliable results from voting precincts.
