The Nevada Republican Party's decision to hold both a caucus and a primary this year has led to widespread confusion and has led to accusations even from some of the state's Republicans about rigging the contest for former President Donald Trump.
As things stand now, former President Donald Trump is the only GOP candidate still in the race to be competing in the caucus, while rival Nikki Haley is the only remaining contender whose name is on the Nevada primary ballots.
The Nevada GOP arranged a caucus despite the fact that a recently passed state law mandated that parties hold primaries, and two Nevada Republicans told CNN this week that they think this was done to benefit the former president.

"I believe that they set up the caucus because they wanted to assure that Donald Trump was not embarrassed in Nevada and secured Nevada's vote," claimed Chuck Muth, the former chairman of the Clark County Republican Party. "This definitely smells of rigging the caucus on behalf of Donald Trump."
Muth wasn't alone in his concerns, as former Nevada Republican Party Chairwoman Amy Tarkanian also lent credence to his claims.
"How do you trust it?" she said of the caucus. "To me it comes across as a complete pro-Trump scam, plain and simple. It's sad and it's disappointing. I think really they have disenfranchised the Republican voter."
