60,000 Culinary Workers is inaccurate, many are not citizens and can't vote

[Herman Munster]

When you get down the numbers, culinary may only have 30,000 members that are eligible to vote.

[Xipe Totec]

1. Any sources for this remarkable claim?

Links? :shrug:

[Renew Deal]

5. I overheard it at Area 51

:tinfoilhat:

[jenmito]

17. Sounds like a Lou Dobbs "fact."

[NYCGirl]

29. Heard that quoted on last night's Countdown. It was Dobbs. NT

[papau]

2. By rule there will be no check for citizenship - sign a piece of paper saying you can vote and you

are counted on Saturday.

[skipos]

3. Is there still time for the Clinton's to figure out a way to supress the vote of those 30k?

If there is a way, those two will figure it out.

[rodeodance]

9. That was an un=necessary comment and nasty-uncalled for!

[skipos]

16. It's not nasty. The Clintons are hard working and determined.

I am very confident they have the skills to figure out some way to suppress those votes.

[cali]

4. and you know this how?

Oh that's right, you don't.

[no name no slogan]

10. He got them directly from the Department of Pulling Numbers Out Of My Ass

don't you read the papers?

[William769]

14. Don't shoot the messenger I'm just telling you where I heard it from, ok?

Lou Dobbs show last night.

[rodeodance]

6. the numbers add up when using green cards, those applying for citizenship. I do

not nor have seen any documented numbers related to these groups of people but I imagine there are many no matter what union one belongs to.

[amandabeech]

11. Isn't full citizenship a requirement to vote?

Maybe it is different in the Nevada caucus, but I think for general elections, citizenship is required by law.

I'll have to read those rules tonight.

I know I'll be called all kinds of names, but if there is any indication that the rules are not being followed, the election result will be tarnished in the eyes of some, and lawsuits and recounts might follow.

I don't think that would reflect well on any Dem candidate in the general election in November.

[no name no slogan]

12. IIRC if you're legal to vote by November, you can caucus

nt

[leftynyc]

18. As they do not require any kind of ID

to caucus, that's irrelevant.

[amandabeech]

21. It has been reported here that prospective caucus-goers must sign an affidavit

of some kind.

Usually, legal penalties attach to false affirmations on an affidavit.

However, unless there were a recount, nothing is going to happen.

This is not to advocate that those who wish to vote make ANY false statements.

[MediaBabe]

33. They do require an affirmation of legality.

It's not irrelevant if the person knowingly lied to participate in the caucus.

[amandabeech]

22. Thanks for the info. n/t

[JackORoses]

7. getting nervous, Hermie?

[babylonsister]

8. Hermie, you wouldn't be lying to us, wouldya?

:spank: :spank:

[William769]

15. Like no one on this board would ever do that, right?

[Reciprocity]

13. Looks like the only thing you need to bring for voting in Nevada is a union card.

[GalleryGod]

19. "Post & Run"

:patriot:

[JTFrog]

20. And yes she still tried to keep them from voting. n/t

[dugggy]

23. Baloney...they can all vote..no ID's are required in NV

[jenmito]

24. Kick to point out Keith O. just called Lou Dobbs one of tonights "Worst persons in the world" for

the comment he made that you repeated. The truth is there are about 30,000 IMMIGRANTS...not ILLEGAL immigrants in the CWU. :kick: for truth.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

25. it is a caucus not a vote...does that make a difference?

[jenmito]

26. The OP is wrong. He used Lou Dobbs' false statement. They're immigrants. Not illegal immigrants.

And they need to be registered voters. And they can register right then and there to caucus if they're not registered yet.

[JackORoses]

27. I bet it really pisses you off that they don't require US ID at the Caucus.

Will you blame a Hillary loss on illegals?

[AtomicKitten]

28. KO called bullshit on this myth last night -- But thanks for the race-baiting.

[jenmito]

30. Yup. I kicked up this thread after I heard Olbermann talking about that.

:hi:

[AtomicKitten]

31. It's positively Lou Dobbian!

[jenmito]

32. It sure is!

:hi: (I called Obama "MLKish" on here the other day.) :D
