As Nevada Democrats head to precinct sites in order to caucus for their party's 2020 presidential nomination, one obscure provision in the caucus rules is raising eyebrows: the role of card games in the selection process.
According to the state party's official caucus procedures, in the event of a statistical tie between two or more caucus groups vying for a delegate, a game of chance will be performed, namely a high-card draw.
Each presidential preference group subject to the tie will draw a single card from a deck of cards, and the delegate will go to the group drawing the highest card. Jokers and informational cards are removed, and aces are high.
In the case of identically ranked draws, the suit will determine the winner, which, ordered from highest to lowest, are: spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs.
