After the Iowa caucuses meltdown, organizers of the Nevada caucuses are working to ensure that their presidential contest goes off smoothly. While left-leaning articles report on the difference between the Nevada and Iowa caucuses, right-leaning articles doubt that Google will be able to help the Nevada Democratic Party.
A left-leaning article by The New York Times highlights the differences between Nevada’s caucus and that of Iowa. Iowa is more than 90 percent white, but Nevada’s population is almost 30 percent Latino, 10 percent black, and has a fast growing Asian-American ethnic group. The caucuses will pose a test for former Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Senator Amy Klobuchar who are coming out of Iowa and New Hampshire with political momentum amongst largely white voters.
A centrist article by NPR reports that precinct volunteers will use iPads and a secure Google Web form to help calculate caucus results, in addition to calling into a hotline to report them. However, the Nevada Democrats only shared this information with the media and failed to communicate this change with volunteers who run the caucuses. The lack of communication has frustrated Democratic volunteers.
The Daily Caller published a right-leaning article reporting that Nevada’s Democratic Party is recruiting Google to help party officials steer clear of what tossed the Iowa caucuses into disarray. The article states that Google might not be able to help because the problem might be more administrative rather than technical.
