The scene at the Nevada Republican caucuses on Tuesday seemed like a chaotic one — from not having enough ballots to go around to misinformation about candidates still in the race, according to accounts and interviews.
Here’s a sampling:
.@marcorubio staffer says an associate was allowed to check in to caucus without being asked to show an ID. Problem was reported#RJnow

Gov. Brian Sandoval votes for Rubio but not an endorsement. Says Rubio best choice but will have to address Yucca Mtn. #Nevadacaucus #RJnow

Updated quote from source: “40-50 loose ballots on table.” Counter looked at them, put them under envelopes. Wouldn’t budge when called out.

New: People registered for precinct 1303 in Sierra Vista showed up to caucus. There was literally no site set up.

Ballots being tucked under envelopes.
Voters not being checked for ID.
This is what Trump rule looks like.#NVcaucus pic.twitter.com/J5n3L2XsZ0— Josh Jordan (@NumbersMuncher) February 24, 2016
They’re trying to steal it for Marco.
That sounds like a caucus. I suggest all our voting be done this way. Only allow weapons.
No.
Demand weapons.
This is a dream come true for Donald Trump. Whether he wins, or loses, he wins.
…so then, they’re basically running their own caucus, like they run everything else.
