According to two participants on the call, Ken Sagar, a state Democratic central committee member, was among those answering the hotline on caucus night and said people called in and expressed support for Trump.
The phone number became public after people posted photos of caucus paperwork that included the hotline number, one of the people on the call said.

This entire process was sabotaged. Of that, there is no doubt. Probably right out of Vlad's School of Rule. They wanted to show it could be corrupted.
Even if they held it again, it wouldn't help. Nope. Wipe the slate. Divide the delegates and do away with the caucus system.
Ballots and paper trails.
