biden recently picked up the support of a latino victory fund and he has also spent a substantial amount of time over the last week courting black voters here in the state. now, biden is also hoping to pick up support from the union community. in fact, he has been making some private back of house visits at casinos, here, trying to connect one-on-one with workers that he hopes will turn out to caucus for him today. the biden campaign is very aware of he needs a strong finish here in the state. after this con test, the race will head to more and other diverse states like south carolina and the super tuesday contest, and joe biden is certainly hoping he will start that turn-around here in nevada. dana? arlette, thank you very much for that report. nevada democrats are not using the vote reporting app that caused big problems in iowa. they re following iowa s lead and breaking down results in a new way though. and here is a viewer s guide of what to expect. for the first time, nevada
