Go Ron Go!
LAS VEGAS — A Los Angeles Times reporter was forced to leave a southern Nevada caucus location Saturday after some Republican voters accused her of being a spy. Reporter Ashley Powers said she was thrown out of a community center in suburban Sun City Anthem outside Las Vegas after a Republican volunteer mistakenly told the crowd of voters that members of the media didn't have permission to observe balloting. Powers said the crowd of elderly voters then booed her. She said she was told security would be called if she didn't leave, so she left the room. When she later tried to re-enter, an elderly man grabbed her arm and pushed her. Powers said Clark County GOP spokeswoman Bobbie Haseley called her to apologize for the misunderstanding.

Looking at the population tally for counties in Nevada, I found this quite interesting... Again this caucus was Clark County..
LAS VEGAS — Republican presidential front runner Mitt Romney reached for his second straight victory Saturday in quiet Nevada caucuses, a contest that Newt Gingrich and the rest of his rivals conceded in advance. Unlike contentious earlier events from Iowa to Florida, this one featured little television advertising, no debates and a small investment of time by Romney, Gingrich, former Sen. Rick Santorum and Texas Rep. Ron Paul. A total of 28 Republican National Convention delegates was at stake in caucuses held across a sprawling state that drew little attention in the nominating campaign, but figures to be a fierce battleground in the fall between the winner of the GOP nomination and President Barack Obama. The state's unemployment rate was measured at 12.6 percent in December, the worst in the country. Read more on Newsmax.com: Romney Eyes Win in Quiet Nevada Caucuses Important: Do You Support Pres.

Here is why I don't like most reporting today. No where in your linked article is the quoted word "spy" ever attributed towards any one person actually using that word. Now, there is a report; from your article you linked; that says people were misinformed about media presence.
Take your slanted and biased reporting and don't link this crap. It does nothing to serve your cause except show it wishes to skew the narrative in a manner befitting their own agendas.
Angry Ron Paul supporters overtook a special caucus Saturday night for religious voters who honor the Sabbath, prompting long lines, frantic GOP officials and voter fraud complaints.
...
Part of the trouble was some Paul supporters told voters they could show up for the late-night caucus at a suburban Jewish private school for whatever reason. But voters could only participate if they signed a declaration affirming that they couldn't vote during the regular morning caucuses because of their faith.
Most had come at the urging of the Ron Paul campaign, which had placed calls to its supporters informing them of the "second chance" to vote Saturday night.
"I received probably 10 phone calls today saying if you didn't make it this morning to your caucus, you can come down here - 30 minutes away from my home - and they would let you vote, get a second chance at it," said 23-year-old Henderson resident Michael DiCicco, a Paul supporter who said he was not aware the late caucus was reserved solely for those who practice certain religions. "It's discrimination."

This is proof of only one thing...Ron Paul supporters flooded the special caucus.
There are reports all over the place of Ron Paul's own campaign calling supporters to tell them to go to the special late night caucus. Even though it was only meant for those that missed their caucus due to religous reasons...Ron Paul's campaign urged his supporters to show up.

So walk me through your logic...since Ron Paul won this ONE caucus site...after his campaign urged their supporters to specifically flood it....you think that means he should have won the entire state???
And if Mitt had of won by a mile I suppose you would be claiming Mitt supporters flooded the special caucus? A flood is the direct result of one thing: lots of water particles. Without a critical mass of water it's impossible to have a flood.
This is proof of only one thing...Ron Paul supporters flooded the special caucus.

Another Ron Paul fan skewing numbers to try and change the narrative. If you are going to use a statistic -- make sure you are using one that falls within the context of your argument.
Nevada Voter Registration
There are only 290,000 registered Republicans in Clark County. Since this is a Republican Caucus, only registered Republican voters can attend -- and after they expressed their desire to attend.
