The Clinton Campaign: A proven record of supressing votes.

It's a very disturbing pattern. Normally,you could count on the GOP to cheapen and hide your votes. Now you only have to look to the supposed matriarch of the party.

First, she didn't want to allow college kids to vote in the Iowa caucus:

Then, in New Hampshire, her campaign illegally interfered in the GOTV efforts of opposition campaigns:

Now, her campaign is instrumental in cutting off thousands of workers from voting in Nevada:

At what point do even her own supporters, self proclaimed democrats no less, speak out against these tactics? We have fought too hard, for too long, in order to give everyone a chance to have their votes counted. Hillary continues to cheapen those efforts in her egomaniacal quest for power. It's her turn after all.

it's always better to have the complete truth. especially if its leading you to resent her. we have NO idea yet what this case is about, there are so many people and details, it's unfair to just assume that b/c people on DU are providing links that argue FOR that being that case, that that is the case.

The director of the union is a member of Clinton’s Nevada Women’s Leadership Council, and an attourney associated with her campaign is bringing the lawsuit. What more is there to look into?

There are other threads on these subjects. Biased partisans can go there to add to the hatred ensconsced in them. Those who want to know the truth about these matters can find it there as well, if they don't mind going through some trouble to keep from being lied to by posts like this one.

If you're ok with these facts then good for you, but I question if you want to win the primary more then you represent real democratic values.

She did these things and after three strikes it's a pattern and it IS a problem.

is due to Campaigners Gone Wild.

That's...encouraging.

if they don't, once the casino workers DO get to the polls, they will vote against her.

state.

You don't just show up, vote, and leave at any time during the day. You have to be available for multiple votes as the day goes on.

Teachers are off work on Saturday. They CAN spend the day at the polls. The casino workers WORK. They can't be running off the job for several rounds of voting. That means the casino workers WILL be underrepresented - and as the teachers union supports Hillary and the casino workers union supports Obama, that breaks in Hillary's favor.

Edit: In answer to your comment, the end result is they won't get the chance to vote against her.

but if they are allowed and the suit doesn't hold up, she's going to be f'd).

I couldn't make up as many missteps as the Clinton campaign has done to itself.

at any rate ...I smell fear and dishonesty all over this group.

This is blatantly illegal, not just reprehensible but illegal.

I doubt that Obama himself could bring it in the thick of a campaign, but is there a movement on for it? Just the principle of it is repugnant.

with 30 some recs, but one of the mods decided to send it to a different forum where nobody will see it.

I hope that the MSM picks it up, I think its a HUGE story.

thread not an "Electoral Reform" thread. It deserves to be here.

the top of the forum.

It needs traction.

Picked up by at the Kos site?

I guess thats close enough for the time being.

so that it really does "go mainstream." Getting comments from a prominent Democrat going would be one method.

They've been doing that since at least 1992, when they tried to keep college students out of the WI primary. Most of the students were supporting Jerry Brown and Billary desperately needed a win in Wisconsin to put Brown out of the running. They ended up taking Wisconsin and the rest is sad and sordid history.
