First reports from the Republican's Nevada caucus indicate two things: enthusiasm and chaos.

Polling places were swamped by a larger-than-expected turnout, creating long lines and a shortage of ballots.

And irregularities were reported at several locations around the state — including lax voter ID checksdouble voting and polling staff wearing Trump-branded gear.

Right now those reports are anecdotal, and the state GOP says the chaos is limited. But any voting irregularities might lead to a challenge of the caucus' eventual results.
