Unfortunately, I'm inclined to agree. I've heard too many unsettling stories from people I trust. They've ranged from conversations overheard between neighbors about having their time off from work paid by a campaign so they could attend, and others in which people *talked* about being from another state (Maryland in one particular case) but having come to Nevada to caucus for their candidate. (Iowa caucus-goers reported students from other states being paid $250 to show up and caucus.) I've talked to union members who were told that caucusing for someone other than who the union supported would be viewed the same as crossing a picket line.
And how many precinct sites closed their doors early, or gave misinformation to caucus-goers?
Perhaps most problematic in my view is that we temporary caucus chairs were specifically told not to request identification from those people who were registering to vote. The voter registration forms state that registrants need to provide a Nevada drivers license/ID card or the last 4 digits of their social and a power bill, bank statement, paycheck stub, etc. that proves they live at the residence they're registering at. And yet we didn't do that. I know that people didn't provide such information. We had people marking another country as their country of origin and providing no other info besides their name and address. Were these people eligible to participate?
I'm glad the Democratic Party is so thrilled at the attendance. I find it suspicious. Republicans made people register ahead of time and had a 'normal' attendance. So I have no faith in the results and I'll sit out the next one, if Dina Titus can't give us a primary. Not that those can't be corrupted too...
