What is going on with Nevada's GOP primary?

Quote: Wizard

I just got my ballot by mail for the Nevada Republican primary. Surprisingly, Trump's name was not on it.

I did a search and found this article: Trump won't be on Nevada's 2024 GOP primary ballot, and Haley won't be on Nevada's caucus ballot. Here's why. If my reading is correct, Nevada will have both a primary and a caucus. It is the caucus that will award delegates. If that is the case, what is the purpose of the primary? It says Nikki Haley's is listed in the primary, but won't be in the caucus. No, it doesn't have to do with the 14th amendment.

Despite reading this article twice, I still don't get what is really going on. Can anyone explain to me?

Donny’s campaign forgot to file the proper paperwork to get on the ballot. He only hires the best people!

The presidential nomination process has a history of being fuzzy. For much of the nation’s political existence, starting in the 1830s, national party conventions selected nominees for the highest office in the land. At these events, the oft-used term “smoke-filled rooms” described the sometimes behind-the-scenes activity that led to the final selection of a nominee...

After the chaotic and controversial 1968 Democratic National Convention, when Vice President Hubert Humphrey won the nomination after not running in a single primary, the national Democratic Party sought to reform its nomination process. It began to set down an increasingly nationalized set of rules that each state party had to obey, particularly certain guarantees for participation by women and minorities in state delegations and the distribution of delegate support to candidates in proportion to their vote support. This is why many view the 1972 Democratic primary as the first campaign of the “modern” era of presidential politics, as it was the first contest to feature many of these rules.
