Donald Trump trounced the field of Republican presidential candidates with over 40% of the vote, while Rubio and Cruz finished at distant second and third place.
Trump seems unstoppable at this point.With that said…
There are multiple sites stating the Nevada GOP caucuses did not go as according to plan.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
As reported by CNN, Jeremy Hughes, a Nevada strategist for Marco Rubio said he was hearing about extensive problems at caucus sites across the state.
Even at his own caucus site in Clark County, volunteers were not checking voters ids before they were allowed to vote. They didn’t even check one of Rubio’s team members id’s before he voted in his county. Hughes said he reported the violations to Sue Lowden, the former chairwoman of the Nevada Republican Party who happened to be at the caucus site. She reprimanded the woman and said:
We assume the situation was resolved. She also said she was unable to find a site manager to report the violations to.
At other sites check-in volunteers were wearing Trump campaign items which the GOP said was not against the rules.
Hughes also said:
Trying to catch all the fraud that’s going on here would be like trying to plug all the holes in the Titanic. You fix one and another one bursts.
Hughes later said he is confident after checking across the state that the Republican National Committee is chasing down the problems that have occurred — largely due to confusion, complex procedures and a higher than expected turnout.
The Nevada Republican Party, tweeted the following:It’s not against the rules for volunteers to wear candidate gear. Volunteers went through extensive training & are doing a great job

and they tried to downplay the situation by tweeting:
There have been no official reports of voting irregularities or violations. #nvgopcaucus

I think this one follower summoned up their comments perfectly with his response tweet:

Other sources reported some of the caucuses ran out of ballots because they were not prepared for the high turnout. CBS in Las Vegas stated:
some caucus sites have run out of ballots. The RNC says more are being delivered.
