There were some warning signs over the weekend at early-voting sites, where the new reporting system proved somewhat sluggish, compounding the delays caused by high turnout and long lines.

Jon Ralston, the editor of The Nevada Independent, attributed the delays in part to “the issue of them having to essentially erect an entirely new way to do the caucus after a lot of planning — you might even say years of planning — after what happened in Iowa.”

“It’s being run by volunteers, who are well meaning, but they were trained very late,” he added. “There is the potential for a lot to go wrong.”

Did William Barr’s own lawyers go against him?

Trump’s longtime friend Roger Stone was sentenced to more than three years in prison on Thursday, handing a big victory to the prosecution. Or maybe it was a defeat?

That all depends on whether you think the prosecution really wanted Stone to be imprisoned at all.

William Barr, the attorney general, intervened in the case last week, forcing his lawyers to seek a lighter sentence than they had in their original memorandum. But at the sentencing hearing on Thursday, the prosecutor now leading the case for the Justice Department, John Crabb, did a few things that seemed to subtly push in the direction of a harsher sentence after all.
