Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Nevada Republican activist says he caucused for Sanders
PAHRUMP Chuck Muth, a Nevada GOP activist wearing a Keep America Great hat, said Saturday he had re-registered as a Democrat last weekend and marked Sen. Bernie Sanders as his first choice on an early voting ballot.
The day before the Feb. 11 New Hampshire primary, President Donald Trump suggested Republicans might want to cross over and vote for the weakest candidate possible of the Democrats but by the time Trump made that remark, the deadline to register for the primary had passed.
Nevadas Democratic Party, however, allows same-day registration for the caucus which Democrats have credited with expanding the number of registered Democrats in the Silver State. The party said in a news release that 10,000 people had signed up for the Democratic Party during four days of early voting.

(11,985 posts)8. Funny how people make opposite arguments from the same numbers.
In another thread, people were talking about how turnout was unimpressive, and indicated that Bernie couldn't turn out the kinds of numbers he talked about... and here's a post saying, look how high the turnout is, it must be all Republicans crossing over to vote for Bernie.
