Nevada: Why they are trying to intimidate voters by threatening litigation.

[Skwmom]

Sanders is starting his day with a rally in sparsely populated Elko, Nevada. He says “we are here to win. We hope to win.” But he adds, “I want democracy to flourish.”

Sanders asked supporters to “show the world that democracy is alive and well here in Nevada.”

Elko County is heavily Republican and has fewer than 4,000 registered Democrats. But Sanders’ event drew several hundred people, a sign of his strategy to boost turnout throughout the state to offset Hillary Clinton’s strength around Las Vegas.

Let's see: 6 debates at first, then we added the town hall dog and pony shows to promote Clinton, the voter data was withheld, they refused a recount in Iowa..... You would think I was describing the Republican Party.

The Republicans are going to love to bring this up in the general election to piss off Bernie Supporters. Nothing like trying to terrorize voters. Way to go Democrats.

Update: My God. I forgot NV is a swing state. Way to give the Republicans ammunition for the GE. I bow down to your brilliance.

1. were there any online ista polls from last night? I didnt see any, only that Bernie was 91,

and Hillary was 8. That was just from an OP after the town hall.

[hoosierlib]

52. Just the heavy.com poll that you already referenced...

[libtodeath]

2. The Clinton campaign is in a panic.

[cui bono]

4. OTOH dirty politics is business as usual for her. n/t

[MisterP]

3. wait, the story doesn't match the headline--who's being threatened with lawsuits?

[cui bono]

5. People who vote for Bernie. n/t

[hack89]

17. No. Only repukes that caucus for Bernie and then vote in the repuke primary.

can't you at least read the OP?

[cui bono]

19. So no one is allowed to switch parties?

Can't you at least care about democracy?

.

[hack89]

25. Democracy is not "one man two votes".

this is not democracy. It is a cynical attempt to manipulate the Dem primary. Democracy means making a choice.

[cui bono]

28. They're not voting twice in the same election.

I'll give you this if you give me superdelgates.

.

[hack89]

33. So you are happy with repukes voting for Bernie

even though you know they will be voting for a RW wing nut in the GE? Hell of a revolution you have going there.

[cui bono]

35. Well when you lay it out like that it is beneficial to Dems since Hillary can't win the GE.

I said I'd give you this if you give me superdelegates... that's a total sham, or are you happy with Lobbyists deciding which Dem to send to the GE?

.

[hack89]

37. What is the likelihood of Bernie not winning more than 57% of the delegates?

because that is the only scenario where super delegates matter.

[cui bono]

38. I don't know.

And if we're going to do math and stats here, how much of a difference will this issue of voting in Nevada make?

But are you saying you are fine with Lobbyists as superdelegates?

.

[hack89]

41. Fine with me. The moral outrage is overblown in my opinion

too many clueless people not understanding how thing really work.

[cui bono]

44. And yet you are morally outraged about something that will most likely have little to no effect

on the outcome.

Interesting tidbit, you are outraged about something that you perceive will hurt Hillary and not at all about something that could benefit Hillary, even though it shows how corrupt our party's primary process has become.

Not surprised.

.

[hack89]

47. That's nice.

have a good evening.

Can't wait for Super Tuesday when DU starts returning to normal.

[frylock]

36. Where's your evidence that is going to happen?

[hack89]

39. It is most likely a hypothetical

I just found it interesting that at least one Bernie supporter had no problem with repukes manipulating a Dem primary as long as Bernie benefited.

[frylock]

40. We've been telling Hillary Supporter for months that Bernie has crossover appeal.

Maybe pay attention next time.

[hack89]

42. Cynical manipulation is not "cross over appeal"

if they were truly Bernie supporters they would not be also voting in the repuke primary now would they?

[frylock]

43. Are they voting in the Republican primary?

Where's your evidence to back up that assertion?

[hack89]

46. Before you jump into the middle of a fucking sub thread how about reading it first.

it is clear that we are not talking about people genuinely switching parties.

Give it a fucking break- you are trying to hard to be offended.

[frylock]

48. I fucking read it.

It's nothing but pure fucking speculation from a campaign that is greasing the skids for another loss tomorrow. Zero evidence. None.

[hack89]

49. Ok. Have a good evening. Sorry about the language. Nt

[frylock]

50. You too.

[winter is coming]

53. No one is supposed to vote in more than one primary. n/t

[nadinbrzezinski]

56. In 2008 we had simiar stories

and similar fears, that quite frankly never really materialized.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/03/us/politics/03crossover.html

For example.

[Skwmom]

6. This is why I made the thread.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511276150

Do I think that is the reason for the threatened litigation? Hell no. It's just a cover.

[MisterP]

8. thanks! let's just say that I can't SEE that thread ...

funny thing is, I blocked all these types well before the primary campaign started ...

[mythology]

15. The Nevada party is threatening Republicans

Who are promoting voting for Sanders on Saturday and then switching back to vote in the Republican caucus a few days later. The example I saw was from the University of Nevada Reno.

[MohRokTah]

7. So you don't have a problem with voter fraud?

[Skwmom]

9. I don't think voter fraud is what this is about. nt

[MohRokTah]

10. Then you are confused. eom

[Skwmom]

11. Nope. I just realize how manipulative the Clinton team is. n/t

[panader0]

13. Please explain where the voter fraud is.

Should Republicans not be able to change parties? Isn't that what Hill did?

[Lucinda]

14. This isnt about them changing parties...this is about a loophole found so they can vote twice. n/t

[cui bono]

23. Well they're not voting twice in the same election.

Maybe while you guys are changing this rule you can change the superdelegate rule too.

.

[Lucinda]

27. That is exactly what they are asking people to do. Different caucus days and the Rep rolls

are already closed.

[cui bono]

29. It's not the same election. It's two different primaries.

How do you know they are all going to vote for Bernie?

I'll trade you though, I'll give you this if you give me superdelegates.



.

[Lucinda]

51. Wow. Really? You have no problem with people voting in the Rep AND Dem caucuses?

I've got nothing to say to you if that isn't a problem for you.

[hack89]

18. You ok with them voting twice? Because that is the issue. Nt

[panader0]

24. If voters break the the law, that's wrong. Got any examples?

[hack89]

26. Did you even read the op?

It explains exactly what the repukes are up to.

[panader0]

30. What part of the OP are you refering to?

[hack89]

34. My bad

got my ops mixed up. I was referring to the thread about how the repukes were going to manipulate the Dem primary. That is what the litigation is all about.

[bettyellen]

16. voting twice in the primary is okay with you?

[cui bono]

21. When did that happen?

[bettyellen]

54. apparently it is a thing that can happen through some loophole- since Dems let you sign up the day

of the caucus and Republicans would already have you signed up already, and are still happy to have you vote the following week. I suppose Dems could do it too. I had heard it happened in the past, so when they found people had voted in both, the Dems tossed them out. Not sure if the Republicans care to check, some are encouraging it saying it is legal- or you won't "get into trouble" for it. It's stupid, I think they should just do both caucuses the same time to prevent it.

[cui bono]

20. How is switching parties voter fraud?

Way to spread right wing memes.

.

[mhatrw]

22. This isn't about voter fraud. This is about a cause loophole that a Clinton operative has

been trying to spread far and wide to give the Clinton campaign a preposterous excuse for tomorrow's thumping.

[Empowerer]

55. Can you imagine what this board would look like if they thought that Republicans were crossing over

to vote for Hillary?

[SoLeftIAmRight]

12. Who fight against voters?

...

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. I stand with Harry Reid

[giftedgirl77]

32. So, did you just make up your own title bc the one at your link

is in relation to Trump in SC & your excerpt sure as shit doesn't explain your headline any better.

[SheenaR]

45. This is not Dems Fault, This is not Repubs fault

It is the fault of Nevada for creating such a ridiculous loophole.

I don't think it's right, but no citizen is breaking Nevada law. It's just a dumb loophole.
