The Nevada Republican Party recently added a Saturday night caucus in Clark County—Nevada’s most populous county—in order to accommodate Republicans whose religious beliefs prohibit them from participating during the daytime on Saturday. According to JTA, approximately 500 voters—most of whom are Jewish—are expected to attend the event, which will be held at a Jewish day school. 

While there had been mixed reporting previously surrounding the campaign’s reactions, the San Francisco Chronicle’s Carla Marinucci most recently reported that “officials in the campaigns of both former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and Texas Representative Ron Paul are privately expressing concern about the decision” to hold the Saturday night caucus that will enfranchise a large number of observant Jewish Republicans.

Stay tuned for further developments and campaign reactions.
