Variable influence in Nevada caucuses

The Las Vegas Review-Journal crunches some numbers to show that the influence of caucus-goers widely varied, depending on their voting location.

[V]oters at the casinos had, on average, twice as much influence as if they had voted near where they lived...Strip voters weren't the only voters who had greater individual influence on the caucus results based on where they were. For example, in Carson City, the ratio of voters per delegate was almost 19, but in Esmeralda County, it was just 1.5.

The Democrats are allowed to keep this system at their discretion, but I see it as more evidence that Nevada should transition out of the caucus system. (thx, flea)
