In reply to the discussion: I just read why 64 Bernie NV delegates had their credentials stripped--and I shed a tear or two [View all]still_one
(98,883 posts)do this. They have nothing to gain.
I have no idea how people's registrations are getting changed, but if it is this widespread as purported to be here, then most of those that were affected should be able to show their registrations were changed, and in all those cases they need to pursue it with all the legal means available.
This is beyond winning or losing, this is about voter fraud, and if there is validity in this, than a class action needs to take place, and those responsible for those changes need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
If it involved software changing the registrations, then those responsible for the software need to be investigated, and anyone who made changes to that code need to be scrutinized, and what those changes were, and why they were made.
If it involves a person or persons manually changing someone else's registration, those people need to be tracked down. Anyone who has access to the registrations in the states affected need to be investigated.
Assuming this was done intentionally, there is no way that those who allegedly did this could have thought that no one would have noticed, or been exposed. Who really gains the most by this?
1. The Hillary camp? It causes chaos in an already nasty primary, and this exposure would already make that worse. So the only reason for the Hillary camp to do it is to try, and make the Sanders' camp appear off the rails.
2. The Bernie camp? For the same reason as the reason given to the Hillary camp, to cause chaos in an already nasty primary, in the hopes that someone Hillary would somehow lose delegate support.
3. The republican camp? Anything that causes chaos in the Democratic primaries is to the republicans advantage. It distracts from their current issues.
