Nevada Caucuses Hit Snag...Lawsuit Reminds one of FL Under Jeb Bush...Hmm

Nevada’s state teachers union, as well as six Las Vegas area residents filed a lawsuit late Friday that could make it harder for many members of the state’s large hotel workers union to vote in the hotly contested Jan. 19 Democratic caucus in Nevada. The lawsuit argues that the Nevada Democratic Party's decision, decided late last year, to create at-large precincts inside nine Las Vegas resorts on caucus day violates the state’s election laws and creates a system in which voters at the at-large precincts can elect more delegates than voters at other precincts. The lawsuit employs a complex mathematical formula to show that voters at the other 1,754 precincts would have less influence with their votes.The at-large precincts are being established because thousands of hotel workers cannot leave work to participate in the midday caucuses in their home precincts. The Nevada State Education Association has said it would not endorse any Democrat, but some of its top officials have endorsed Mrs. Clinton. Click on the title, it links to an article that goes further in-depth. I'm not gonna touch this...I don't live in Nevada, and don't know all of the ins-and-outs. Just wanted to put it out there.
