Are you wondering why Trump and Haley are campaigning in South Carolina when there is a primary/caucus going on in Nevada right now? Fear not. I am here to explain it all for you. It’s a little complicated, so you may want to take notes.

Ready?

Nevada always had a caucus like Iowa until that little issue with reporting during the 2020 Iowa caucuses. You may recall that the Democratic Party wanted to join the 21st century and report the results of the Iowa caucuses via a phone app rather than the ancient technique of using tabulations on paper.

There were so many glitches with the phone app both technical and user, that no one knew who had won the Iowa caucuses for days. This year, Iowa Republicans have only used a (different) phone app for preliminary results. They went old-school for the final results using paper tabulations.

Nevada took a different approach and ditched both the app and the caucus, moving to a primary instead. This is the state, I’m talking about, not the Republican Party. States determine how and when elections are held, so they had the final say.

Or so they thought.

Anyhoo, going with a primary allowed the state to do all kinds of cool 21st…
