Obama files a formal complaint about illegal Clinton tactics in NV
Advertisements [?]
It is the second story down.
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/

Here is the actual complaint
http://www.time-blog.com/swampland/NV001.PDF

The Obama camp has received over a thousand complaints about misconduct violations of rules and irregularities. The second link is a must read...but here is a quick rundown of the complaints.


-"Obama supporters were being told that they could not register to vote because the sign in sheet was only for Clinton voters."

-"In precinct 21, a Democratic worker...(who was clearly for Hillary) refused to register Obama supporters and said she was only registering Hillary supporters."

-"A Clinton supporter...tried to take our box containing precinct packet and voter registration forms, I had to run her down. By the time I found her she had thrown things out."

-"Hillary people were turning our supporters away, by asking to see their ID's and telling them that they weren't valid."


The most obscene was the copy of the Clinton memo that told supporters to be aggressive and that "it's not illegal unless they tell you."

Many more go into details about Obama and Edwards supporters being turned way at the door at 11:30 and encouraging Hillary supporters to pressure the party officials to close the doors. Hillary Precinct captains pocket voter preference cards of Obama supporters. A side note for the "sour grapes posts to come"...the complaint clearly states that they are not trying to reverse the caucus results.
