NV Caucus goers: Dems trounce Reps by 12% [View all]
From the news headlines from last night and today, you'll notice a lot of discussion about the GOP caucus running out of ballots and "record number" blah blah blah. So I did the math.
Two Web sites show the GOP caucus goer data summed differently, but the totals were exactly the same 75,216. That's their record number.
According to the Las Vegas Sun, the Nevada Democratic Party reported approximately 84,000 caucus goers on Saturday for the democratic side. This is more in line with what actual caucus goers like myself witnessed. There were a lot of democrats that came out to participate in the democratic caucus process. That's 12% more than who showed up to caucus for the GOP.
Record numbers indeed. You won't find news headlines boasting about energized Democrats, but the numbers don't lie.
