It is very informing how the process works. As an Edwards supporter, can you give me any idea of why he did so poorly? I'm wondering if the precincts are so small (number of voters) that it was difficult to get the 15 minimum to keep him viable. I work elections in California and the smallest precinct I've worked had well over 400 voters with maybe less than half showing up to vote. Despite that, they can vote for any of the candidates so all of the candidates get votes. It seems that the more voters in the precinct, the more likely there would be enough voters to maintain a third place or lower candidate. Since Nevada outside the big cities is not that populated, maybe some of these caucuses consisted of less than 100 voters. I'm just trying to understand whether it was the nature of the system or the lack of supporters that garnered Edwards 4%.
