Democratic National Committee expected to block Iowa, Nevada virtual caucus plans
- The Democratic National Committee is expected to recommend on Friday that Iowa and Nevada scrap plans to hold so-called virtual caucuses ahead of the 2020 election because of security concerns, according to U.S. media reports.
Caucuses can be lengthy events in the middle of the winter, making it difficult for many people to attend, so both states had introduced plans to make it possible for some voters to participate over the phone. The Des Moines Register reported that the DNC would block Iowa's plan late on Thursday, with the Associated Press reporting Nevada's caucus would be rejected early on Friday.The Democratic National Committee and the Democratic parties of Iowa and Nevada did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Blocking the states' measures five months ahead of the first caucus leaves Iowa and New Hampshire little time to deliver an alternative.
