Nevada Republicans voted Saturday to move their 2012 presidential caucus from Jan. 14 to Feb. 4.The move will allow New Hampshire to schedule its first in the nation primary on Jan. 10, averting calendar chaos that could have forced the state to hold its vote in December.
Nevada GOP officials faced intense pressure from the Republican National Committee and several 2012 hopefuls to delay its caucus to accommodate New Hampshire.
The state had initially set its earlier Jan. 14 date after Florida pushed up its primary to Jan. 31?jumping ahead of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida, four states the RNC has allowed to schedule their voting ahead of others.
