Nevada's New Plan For Caucusing Poses Potential Security Threats

The Nevada Democratic Party faced challenges in organizing its caucus, especially after the Iowa caucus issues. They decided against using the same app that failed in Iowa and instead opted for iPads with Google forms to check in early voters. This raised security concerns due to potential vulnerabilities with unsecured Wi-Fi. The party consulted with the Department of Homeland Security and other experts to ensure security.
