Almost 48 hours since the Nevada Caucus meetings began and six days since early voting ended, preference sheet tabulation is still not complete. We know that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) will finish first, but the delegate total among he and the other two allocation qualifiers, former Vice President Joe Biden and ex-Mayor Pete Buttigieg, are not finalized. And, citing irregularities in the count because his internal tracking suggests different totals, Mr. Buttigieg’s campaign has petitioned the Nevada Democratic Party for a canvass of the results.
Right now, it appears that Sanders is leading with 40.7% of the aligned vote. Mr. Biden is second recording 19.7%, as compared to Mr. Buttigieg’s 17.1%. The Buttigieg numbers, however, show him surpassing Biden for second place. Delegate-wise, according to The Green Papers’ statistical website projections, Sanders will eventually clinch 24 bound delegate votes, Biden 9, and Buttigieg 3, once congressional district totals are added, but that could change if the latter man’s challenge is proven correct. Approximately 88% of the preference sheets are counted. Voters were instructed to rank their choices from one to three. If their first choice did not make the 15% threshold, those ballots are found, and their latter choices are then recorded in the aligned vote. Delegate allocation is based upon the aligned total.
