Dr. Joyce Battle has often heard “every vote matters.” But at Centennial High School on Saturday, her vote was critical. Battle, 71, was the only voter in her precinct to participate in the Nevada Democratic caucuses.
With no early votes, Battle alone got to decide which candidate she would represent as a delegate. Seated at a wooden desk, she considered the choice for a couple minutes before voting for Pete Buttigieg.“He has a set of values he’s not afraid to show,” she said, noting the candidate’s Navy service. “He put his life on the line for this country.” (Michael Scott Davidson/ Las Vegas Review-Journal)
During realignment at Sparks High School, Regina Lockwood, (bottom front) the lone in-person Joe Biden voter for the precinct, switched over to Elizabeth Warren, making her viable in that group. Sanders won nine of the 15 available delegates for that precinct, while Warren ended up with six delegates when several early votes boosted her numbers. Lockwood, 57, said her move to Warren was strategic so that Sanders would not get all of the delegates for that precinct after it was clear Biden wouldn’t be able to reach viability.

More than 2,000 volunteers showed up to man caucus sites today in Las Vegas. Some had slow starts due to volunteers not showing, but the state Democratic party said that was rare.
Many caucus sites had healthy turnouts, but some precincts were completely empty when caucusing started, likely due to the big numbers of early voters.
