The 2016 Nevada Republican Caucus Ballots Showed Eleven Candidates!

Twitter is awash with all kinds of stories of potential fraud in the 2016 Republican Caucus in Nevada. Literally hundreds of reports of people voting more than once, not enough ballots (maybe because of the double-dipping), voter registrations not being checked, and officials just handing out ballots to anyone without asking or checking.

And on top of that, there's also multiple photos being uploaded of the actual ballot, with candidates who have dropped out.

Well, if its run that fast and loose...

It wouldn't be hard to hire people to show up just to vote for you. I wonder who has that kind of money and an intense desire to not loose?

I think a voter can vote for anyone by write in, and by extension, someone who is not campaigning but on the ballot.

Doesn't caucusing take a while, one to several hours?

Voting in two different caucuses would be very difficult, I think. So ID shouldn't be a problem.

Ballots printed prior to those who bailed?


since a write in disqualifies a ballot, at least they can check a box in protest?


who knows... every state has their right or is that a lost cause?

It's 2016, that is unacceptable. This election just keeps on amazing me. I want to curse the system but societies apathy has aloud this to happen, now it's blatant.

They were all printed before the caucus. Therefore the names remain of the candidates that have dropped. Perfectly on the up and up.
I would write in Daffy Duck if I was there . But , that is just me being me....
Oh , wait. Is he Republican ? I guess , going by the Democrat's nominees , it doesnt matter.

I Voted in Nevada today. Took about an hour. And I'm glad someone posted the Ballot because I definitely thought something was fishy when I looked at it and saw 11 names.

Chees with your whine much?
Looks fairly legit on yhe name thingy....
The rest of the pig fest offends the sensibilities of tin pot dictators....

Here are 2 good articles that highlight it. There were various incidences where volunteers had Trump gear on, even though they're supposed to be impartial. Going by these articles, the Nevada caucus was a mess. (Both links have pictures and live twitter posts describing the screw ups and showing the volunteers with Trump clothing.)

It's getting ugly in Nevada, as reporters at the state's Republican caucuses are spotting irregularities, disorganization and violations of caucus rules.

Much of the controversy has centered around caucus personnel. At some sites, caucus volunteers were accused of failing to require proper voter identification or take other anti-fraud measures--leading to voters casting multiple ballots. Other areas were plagued by long lines and missing ballots. And in one precinct, would-be voters reportedly showed to their caucus location to discover the site hadn’t been set up at all.
