2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhy is this not being discussed?
Jimmy Dore, reporter for The Young Turks, caught numerous egregious shenanigans going o in Nevada. At the location he was covering, they were caught on video telling people not to register to vote (but asking the workers not to yell that so loudly), they ended the Caucus before announcing the delegates, they let people leave without ever registering (even after saying they would register afterwards) and more. Check these videos out, and please share this widely. This needs to be reported to the DNC and taken very seriously.
This a second statement:
The Young Turks reporter Jimmy Dore captured some incredible footage at last nights Democratic Caucus in Nevada. Dore was covering the Las Vegas caucus, held at the Paris Hotel in Clark County. This is the most highly populated area of Nevada, and the county is a must-win for presidential candidates hoping to capture their partys nomination. Earlier in the day on Wednesday, a caucus-goer by the name of James Porter uploaded a disturbing cell phone video to YouTube.
Porter documented caucus leaders telling attendees to come in to caucus without registering. Thats a direct quote. The Young Turks reporter Jimmy Dore captured some incredible footage at last nights Democratic Caucus in Nevada.

(1,507 posts)They have zero objectivity on anything related to HRC. They've smeared Obama many times in the past as well. I quit caring about their bleating years ago.

(6,409 posts)They're designed to skirt the rules. Primary elections are monitored by election officials, which is bad enough, but caucuses are far worse. They are in the control of the parties, and it's the parties who determine whether or not the rules were broken and what to do about it. I know people don't like cliche's, but the fox is definitely guarding the hen house.
