Nevada's caucus manual gives detailed instruction for using an iPad. See the slide deck here.
On slide 92, the manual has instructions on setting up precincts, including "Open the Caucus Calculator on your iPad."
Then comes a brief explanation of setting up the document where each caucus site will keep track of numbers during different rounds of the caucus.
The party leaves nothing up to chance, with four-part directions for unlocking the iPad.
Even more detailed instructions for opening and logging into the Caucus Calculator follow.
Once the caucus site reaches step three — counting participants — the iPads come into play. The training document has step-by-step instructions for using the calculator to find the right numbers to write in each space on the poster.
After the caucus is finished and numbers transferred to reporting sheets, someone at each site should take a photo of the sheet using the iPad, then text the photo to the Nevada Democratic Party.
Precincts will also report results by calling into the hotline. Though the system seems complicated, it remains to be seen whether it will run more smoothly than in Iowa.
