‘A complete disaster’: Fears grow over potential Nevada caucus malfunction - www.politico.com

Excerpts from article:

...Another volunteer, who will be in a senior position at a caucus site, said that as of Feb. 11 the party had failed to provide updated training sessions for caucus day to many people who'd been preparing to use the now-scrapped apps.

...When the first and second alignments are completed, the totals will be relayed over the cloud to the Nevada Democratic Party via the Google form, which on the back end appears as a Google spreadsheet.

...Separately, the precinct chair or site lead will take the printed caucus reporting sheets - each campaign must sign off on them first - and call the Nevada Democratic Party boiler room via a secure hotline.

...To make the process user-friendly for precinct chairs - whose technological know-how and past experience with the caucus varies - the state party "Invited testing from security experts of varying backgrounds, experienced volunteers, first-time precinct chairs and community leaders," the state party official said.

...The Nevada Democratic Party undercut the confidence of at least one Democratic campaign when it sent a callout - circulated on Twitter on Friday - for "Technical volunteers" to "Pair" with precinct chairs on caucus day.
