Voted

In the last two Presidential cycles, Nevada has been a caucus state, with the "First in the West" claim. I participated in both caucuses, most recently volunteering as the precinct chair for Lyon County Precinct 40, where I did my best to make a complex process work and to reflect the wishes of the people from my precinct. The caucus process does not serve as many people as a primary ballot does, and the Nevada Democratic Party asked the state government to establish a "Presidential Preference Primary" on party lines, which they did.

Today I cast my Presidential Preference ballot. The results are not binding upon the state party. I assume that Nevada's delegates to the national convention will still be named by the state convention. However, I expect that the results of the Democratic primary will be highly persuasive to the state convention. In contrast, the Nevada Republican party has told its party members to ignore their primary ballot. (Apparently Trump's campaign didn't even file to be on the ballot.) They have been told to continue with their caucus process. I doubt that it matters that much, as I expect that their party is totally dominated by Glorious Maximum Leader Trump. After all, in Glorious Trumplandia, ballot casts you!
