For the first time in the short-lived history of the state’s presidential caucus, the 2020 election has given Nevada Democrats the opportunity to cast their votes early. But it’s a process that comes with more than a few questions attached, especially in the wake of an Iowa caucus that turned disastrous in part because of the implementation of new technology.
With that early voting process now well underway, The Nevada Independent wanted to know what the voters waiting in the long lines were thinking; everything from what they thought of the lines and the process, to who they were planning on casting their vote for.
