Interesting.NH is considered questionable with a "close " race and yet it seems

[saracat]

few Dems are questioning such a wildly skewed caucus and precincts reporting a 100% for certain candidates? Nothing about the Nevada results strikes anyone as odd? We are to accept these results unquestioningly as "normal'?Sorry but this whole scenario on all sides is beyond belief for me.

1. HERE WE GO LOL!

10. Hey.It is what it is. This was the very first nevada caucus and voter intimidation

definitely played a part.I think there were problems.

[Maven]

2. OMG.

Stop it.

3. Personally, I blame Diebold.

:freak:

Edit for the inevitable pile-on of irony challenged putzes: JOKE.

4. i heard ron paul had family their

or was it in michigan? anyways he didn't get one vote in their precinct. Not that i like him or anything but his family members did vote for him and they were not counted.

5. it's not an election in NV it's a caucus. Apples and Oranges sara n/t

8. I am aware of that. And voter intimidation plays a huge part in this.

This was the very first nevada caucus.I am now glad Az didn't win the fight for the caucus date.

6. Large portions of Nevada are sparsely populated.

Esmeralda County, for example, only has about 1200 people.

100% isn't that unlikely in a precinct if five people show up.

7. I'm very surprised at the low numbers for Edwards.

9. NH was a primary and Nevada was a caucus. I will assume

you know the difference and how they work

A reminder...Caucuses are out in the open

12. Can you spell voter intimidation? I believe Bill Clinton addressed that.

[durrrty libby]

15. Yes and despite the union intimidation and Obama's slimy

Spanish radio ad, Hill prevailed

I am not a fan of caucuses. Citizens should always have a secret ballot

[saracat]

18. And I do believe she won.In spite of.

[sandnsea]

17. Which precinct?

What the hell are you talking about.

[Silent3]

11. Caucuses like this one in Nevada, for all of their flaws...

...have one advantage when it comes to vote counting: people vote in the open, in front of other people, by a show of hands, with plenty of people looking on. That's a pretty hard system to rig.

[saracat]

13. In this case, that is exactly "why" the results may have been dominated by

undue influence.

[KennedyGuy]

14. yep..the first DIEBOLD thread..we have a winner....

[William769]

16. Just for you saracat

Now you can go drown your fucking sorrows! Have a nice day.

[saracat]

19. Nice.I wasn't taking about Hil, if you noticed. I support Bill on the voter intimidation issue.

And though, Hillary will never be my first choice, I have decided she has to be my second for many reasons.But posts such as this, while they don't change anyhting, make me not respect her supporters.

[William769]

20. If it's any consolation to you

You lost my respect long ago.

[saracat]

21. Somehow, I don't care! But you do nothing to develop respect for your candidate.

There are some wonderful, classy Clinton supporters on DU and elsewhere.You are not in that category.
