The Nevada Democratic party swears that its caucuses, set to take place February 22nd, will not descend into madness the way the Iowa caucuses did, but their latest announcement — that caucus organizers will be given an iPad preloaded with software designed to help them tabulate caucus results — has some Democrats fearing another technological meltdown.
The Iowa caucus, of course, erupted into chaos after an app, designed by former Hillary Clinton campaign staffers, which was supposed to collect, process, and report data from the state’s precincts to the Iowa Democratic party, failed, bringing the caucus to a screeching halt and delaying the results for nearly a week. Even after the technology issues were solved, journalists and investigators discovered a host of other errors and inconsistencies in the caucus paperwork, rendering even the “certified” caucus results unreliable.
