hey, i also want to bring in meagan messerly, politics reporter for the "nevada independent." wondering, do state party officials, is there a backup plan, what are you hearing from people about how the process is going? >> yeah, so like we've been talking about, you know, nevada democrats had to entirely redesign their caucus process in the wake of iowa. they were planning on using two apps that were designed by the company responsible for the iowa apps. they've come up with this totally new system, this caucus calculator that you've been talking about. the goal is to bring in the early vote data. there are backup plans built in. there's paper backups for everything. for instance, this caucus calculator is supposed to be used to bring in the early vote data. to early caucusgoers. home precincts on caucus day to be counted just as if they had been there in person on the actual day of the caucus. but there's going to be an envelope that party officials tell me will be sealed. it will have that information in the envelope in case they need to do calculations by hand. they're buil
