Buttigieg Campaign Seeks Fixes After Identifying 'Irregularities' With Results (NV Caucus)
OK. If we want to blame somebody for the slow results coming out of NV, it looks like Pete is behind it (partially, at least).
In a letter to state party Chair William McCurdy II last night, Michael Gaffney, the Buttigieg campaigns director of national ballot access and delegates, says the process of integrating early votes into the results of the in-person precinct caucuses was plagued with errors and inconsistencies."
We received more than 200 incident reports [yesterday] from precincts around the state, including a few dozen related to how early vote factored into the in-person results, Gaffney writes.
In numerous locations, the early vote totals were allocated to the wrong candidate, according to Gaffney.
...
Given how close the race is between second and third place, Gaffney writes, we ask that you take these steps before releasing any final data.

Sigh. This does not make us look very good.
