Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
nevada caucus...what happens to the missing votes between first vote and final vote?
I don't know how this works...but it seems like a lot of votes are disappearing.
Are the voter who chose a non-viable candidate just vaporized?

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I have seen "Un-committed" on a tally sheet for the 2nd round.
Edit: its on the Bellagio one posted here.

(5,376 posts)4. Some people can choose to just go home.
Voters in unviable groups do not have to join a viable group, so it's possible for the second round total to be lower than the first round.
They can just choose to go home.
That's not an issue.
But if the SECOND round totals are higher than the first round, THAT means something has gone wrong in the system.
