As Twitchy reported, lines outside of caucus sites in Nevada are extremely long, and complaints already include people receiving multiple ballots, sites running out of ballots, and chaos in general as people try to locate their precincts and turn in their completed ballots.
Not enough ballots for some
No checking voter IDs
A poll worker wearing pro-Trump swag
These allegations about #Nevadacaucus are just wow— Marc Caputo (@MarcACaputo) February 24, 2016
A source from the Marco Rubio campaign was upset in particular that at least one caucus worker was decked out in Donald Trump gear.

There are plenty of Trump voters in the room, but “Trump Guy” quickly became a Twitter celebrity.

Lots of people are tweeting that electioneering inside a polling place in their state is illegal, while others note that this is a party caucus, not an election.
@VicCaserta @marcorubio It's a caucus that's why

@elainaplott @seanmdav Yeah, caucuses are very different than primaries.

@VicCaserta @BobEstesPGA @marcorubio I doubt that pic is at a Rubio location. The guy is wearing a trump team leader lanyard.

At least we haven’t seen coin flips or card tricks yet.
@elainaplott @THETXEMBASSY You lobby at a caucus it's what you do, this really isn't shocking & is proof of nothing.

@elainaplott @EWErickson it's allowed. Check the rules. They are allowed to wear their candidates swag

@elainaplott actually it is legal in nevada.

It's not against the rules for volunteers to wear candidate gear. Volunteers went through extensive training & are doing a great job

If there is anything illegal about wearing a candidate’s campaign gear, we’ll be sure to hear about it in the morning if not earlier.

Here’s one final word from the Nevada secretary of state, as reported by CNN’s Jim Acosta.
NV Sec of State: law bars video taping "at polling places..however this statute does not apply to caucus sites." https://t.co/ARxRulXkDJ

So, the people grabbing video of caucus goers wearing campaign gear are both off the hook.
