'Chaos time': Reports on the ground suggest confusion at Nevada caucuses

There seems to be some chaos in Nevada as the Republican caucuses get underway.

Reports from the ground suggest that there's a lot of confusion at certain caucus sites.

Candidates who have dropped out of the race for their party's presidential nomination are still listed on some ballots, some sites are running out of ballots, and some people are being kept waiting in long lines.

Real-estate mogul Donald Trump, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich are all competing in Nevada.

Turnout seems to be higher than expected, and some caucus sites appear unprepared.

There have also been reports of double-voting, which Republican officials are said to be looking into. Evidence of this have so far been anecdotal. The Nevada Republican party said on Twitter that there have been "no official reports of voting irregularities or violations."

Here are some of the reports from the ground in Nevada:
