Multiple caucus-goers reported lack of accommodations for people who are disabled, while Craig Ayres-Sevier found Wi-Fi overloaded at Mount Rose Elementary causing computer slowdowns. An extremely slow registration process was also reported at Virginia Palmer Elementary. For these problems and a roundup of more, visit on.rgj.com/caucus-problems.

2:28 p.m. update

The data website FiveThirtyEight reports, "Hillary Clinton is on track to win between 18 and 20 of Nevada’s 35 pledged delegates, and Bernie Sanders is on track to win between 15 and 17. That’s not good news for Sanders, who needed roughly 19 Nevada delegates to be “on track” for the nomination, according to the Cook Political Report scorecard."

1:56 p.m. update:

The predominantly minority caucus site at Rancho High School in Las Vegas appeared to favor Clinton slightly, but a final delegate count was not available as of 1:45 p.m.

The results could prove troubling for Sanders, who's campaign has had trouble courting minorities.

But young Latinos, like other young people around the country, did gravitate toward Sanders' progressive message, with many citing his plan for free college as a main reason they were supporting him.

"Right now it's so hard just to go to school and work at the same time," said Vanessa Vasquez, a 21-year-old first-time voter. "When college is affordable, so many more people will be able to go to school."

Others like Alex Solano, 25, of Las Vegas, said while he liked Sanders' message, he supported Clinton because she is more electable.

"I thought about it for a while and couldn't make up my mind, but I remember last time it was easier for me because Clinton had more experience," Solano said. "In the end, she's more electable than Bernie Sanders."

1:35 p.m. update:

At Hillside Elementary, caucus-goers voted to reject multiple ballots because they were turned in before a "permanent chair" was chosen. Read more here.

1:17 p.m. update:

Democratic caucus-goers in Northern Nevada are reporting a wide range of problems from long lines and chaos to being turned away and too few paper ballots.

Jessica Sferrazza tweeted that paper ballots ran out at Caughlin Elementary, while Antoinette Jacobs said in her caucus room at Shaw Middle School, only two people were allowed to speak for one-minute each and then the undecideds had to make a decision based on that.

Computer glitches led to pre-registration names being lost at Melton Elementary, Lenita Powers reported.

1:10 p.m. update:

The initial results in today's Democratic caucus in Nevada shows a tight race between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sander, according to the results reported by the Nevada State Democratic Party.

So far, Clinton and Sanders are tied at 50 percent with 14 percent of the precincts reporting.

Up to 12,359 precinct-level delegates will be awarded on Saturday. So far Clinton has 472 delegates and Sanders has 481.

12:15 p.m. update:

Michael and Diana Jones were turned away from participating this morning in the caucus in Gardnerville despite being registered Democratic voters in Douglas County.

This is because they registered as “confidential voters,” meaning their names are not available as a public record to the Democratic Party, which runs the caucuses.

Michael Jones said he talked to multiple volunteers and Democratic Party staff who were unfamiliar with the issue until he was finally turned away.

“I was told I had to reregister (not confidential),” he said. “The whole point is not to put up with the 30, 40, 50 robocalls and three pounds of campaign literature in the mailbox.”

He said his wife spoke with someone in line who was a confidential voter but planned to reregister so he could participate.

Jones is not willing to give up the confidentiality. “We’ve gotten virtually no robocalls and very little campaign literature,” he said.

He pointed out that Democrats can do same-day registration and so its party’s confidential voters have an option to participate, but unless confidential Republican voters have already reregistered, they have no way to caucus now because they require registering about a week before caucus day.

12:13 p.m. update:

At several locations in Reno, turnout at caucus sites was larger than expected.

Robin Ames, who is caucusing at Wooster High School, said the line there was still wrapped around the building at noon.

“Line is really long, it’s wrapped around the building,” Ames said. "The ETA is two hours as of right now.”

Ames is married to RGJ reporter Ben Spillman.

RGJ reporter Jenny Kane said computers for processing voters at McQueen High School went down and organizers ran out of ballots.

“Pretty hectic,” she reported.

11:54 a.m. update:

Voters are still signing in at Rancho High School in Las Vegas, a caucus site with a large Latino population. Doors close at noon, but people in line by then will be allowed to participate.

Both Clinton and Sanders supporters are out in full force. The Clinton camp set up a food stand out front of the school full of Mexican food while the Sanders campaign brought a loudspeaker to encourage chanting.

Many of the voters were wearing Clinton paraphernalia, possibly showing a strong outing for the former secretary of state. Tania Ruiz, 42, of Las Vegas, said she planned to support Clinton hoping for a “third term” of sorts for the family.

“I liked her husband. When he was the president, everything was really, really good and she has the same ideas.”

However, Sanders wasn’t without his supporters, including Clairessa Almendarez, a 17-year-old first-tim voter from Las Vegas. She said Sanders would be able to make inroads with the minority community.

“Most people will eventually realize he’s better in terms of he’s more consistent with what he says,” she said. “He’s more reliable than the other candidates.”

11:38 a.m. update:

More than 31,000 Nevadans preregistered for the Democratic caucus today.

Those who preregistered can enter their caucus site through an express line.

According to the Nevada State Democratic Party: "Users who successfully pre-registered today received their caucus location and updates about the caucus via email and were also able to enroll in text message alerts. For voters who have pre-registered, they will see a special phone number posted near the entrance line. When they text their unique code to that number from their mobile device, they can proceed to the express check-in lane."

People caucusing at Libby Booth Elementary School may have trouble getting to the location. It is at 1450 Stewart St., Reno, NV 89502.

11:29 a.m. update:

Google Maps lists the address as 425 E. Ninth St., which is the district's official address for the school but not the physical location of the building.
