No One To Vote? Nevada Democrats Puzzle Over Empty Precinct

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Democrats in one Nevada county were left wondering about the possibility of a phantom precinct after no one from there voted during the caucuses.

 

No one from the precinct cast a ballot during early voting or showed up at Saturday's caucus site at the University of Nevada, Reno, where hundreds gathered from six other precincts.

 

It turns out there's one registered voter in the precinct comprised solely of a park: a park employee. The lone delegate will be designated "uncommitted" at the county convention.

 

Having few or no registered voters in precincts is not as unusual as it sounds in sparsely populated Nevada.
