Dem campaigns still in the dark about new caucus process in Nevada

Frustrated. Concerned. Nervous. Those are some of the words aides are using to describe the mood within some of the top Democratic presidential campaigns in Nevada with only five days until early voting is set to begin for the state’s first in the West presidential caucus and still no details on how exactly it’s supposed to work…

Five aides across top Democratic presidential campaigns in Nevada, who spoke to The Nevada Independent on the condition of anonymity to speak freely about their concerns, say they’re continuing to train their volunteers with the caucus quickly approaching, but that it’s hard to do that when those volunteers have questions that they don’t have the answers to.

“It’s a little bit of a damper for our volunteers who are more hesitant to step up and say, ‘Yes, I will confirm I will be precinct leadership on Feb. 22,’ when they don’t feel entirely certain about what’s going to happen,” one aide said. “Never mind the campaign, but with four days until early voting begins, the people who are going to participate feel like they need to have a credible explanation of how the early voting and caucus process are going to work.”
