The Hill; Nevada Dems threaten to prosecute people who vote in both caucuses

[hoosierlib]

The Nevada State Democratic Party on Friday vowed to prosecute people who "violate the integrity of the caucus process" after a local College Republicans chapter encouraged GOP voters to participate in the contests of both parties.

“After reviewing Nevada law, we believe that registering under false pretenses in order to participate in the Democratic caucuses for purposes of manipulating the presidential nominating process is a felony," Nevada Democratic Chairwoman Roberta Lange said in a statement.

"The Nevada State Democratic Party will work with law enforcement to prosecute anyone who falsely registers as a Democrat to caucus tomorrow and subsequently participates in the Republican caucuses on Tuesday.”

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) also lashed out at the "scheme," calling the tactics "disgraceful."

“These Republican plans to interfere with the integrity of Nevada’s Democratic caucuses are shameful and immoral," Reid said in a statement. "Rather than letting voters decide and allowing our democratic system to work, Republicans are resorting to trickery and gimmicks in an attempt to subvert the will of the people. The Republican Party has long decried voter fraud, but with this latest scheme they are now encouraging it." 

This will be the excuse used tomorrow by the Clinton campaign when they lose..."its only because Republicans cheated"...

1. Ummm, voter fraud is voter fraud.

Voting in the Den primary then voting in the Repubs a week later is voter fraud. Ppl get ONE vote each election cycle not two, I don't give a shit who they vote for but pick a primary lane & stay in it.
