Nevada Republicans Could Vote in Democratic Caucus

Jon Ralston: “Nevada has a closed caucus sytem — that is, only Democrats can participate on Feb. 20 and only Republicans on Feb. 23. But because of a quirk in the system — cue the national ridicule again — Republicans could vote in both caucuses.”

“Republicans closed their registration rolls on Feb. 13, and that is the file that will be used on Feb. 23. Democrats are allowing same-day registration on Saturday. So: A Republican registered by Feb. 13 could show up at a Democratic caucus site on Saturday, switch to the Democratic Party, vote and then still participate on Tuesday because the party switch would not show up on the GOP caucus rolls.”
