Spanish translator denied at coin flip caucus by HRC precinct captain in IA

Since we have so many threads about not allowing translators relay what is going on, I was wondering what are people's thoughts about this incident....

Published on Feb 2, 2016
This footage was recorded by Gabriel Doria at the caucus yesterday for precinct 33 in Des Moines. There have been multiple accounts of Hillary's people falsifying caucus results and making people uncomfortable at the polls in an attempt to sway results in their favor. In this case Sanders originally had 41 and Clinton had 39, but due to the Hillary-supporting Precinct Chair and Captain stalling and refusing to do a recount to include undecided voters, a few first-time caucus goers on the Sanders side finally walked out in frustration. The vote ended up a tie and was ultimately determined by a coin toss which resulted in a win for Hillary.

This wasn't an honest mistake or result of disorganization. How do I know? Because this wasn't an isolated incident and why else would the Precinct Captain REFUSE to share her name with us unless she knew she had done something wrong?

Just share this please. In a race this close, little breaks in protocol can make a huge difference and this has to be fixed.

To match the righteous indignation of the others?

Hillary needs to DENOUNCE this!!

And I would suggest adding this link as well:

Snopes got the video. They were shouting out "neutral".

Just to get facts straight, peeps aren't always able to sort through the chaff to get the real info!

they know what this thread contains. Perhaps you or I could make a new thread tomorrow calling for Hillary to denounce this action and perhaps she could throw in the transcripts for good measure.

denounced such actions. No matter who has done these things. Left or right, liberal, moderate and conservative. Hate is hate but slander is slander also.

I'm not sure what the circumstances were, but anyone/everyone can be polite. There's Aholes everywhere. We all know that. So, let's not be like that lady. Let's treat everyone with respect.
