GOP steadfastly ignores voter-fraud at Nevada primary

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/02/nevada-caucus-voters-report-chaos-on-twitter-as-poll-workers-openly-wear-trump-gear-and-run-out-of-ballots/comments/#disqus

- Several election-workers wore Trump-swag.

- One election-worker told a reporter, she's here to help Trump.

- They ran out of ballots.

- Nobody checked voter-IDs before handing you a ballot.

- Somebody witnessed another voter voting for Trump twice.



It's not voter-fraud if Conservatives do it.

Election fraud describes the shenanigans by states, campaigns and election officials to defraud and suppress voters, change ballot results and hide their activities.

4. As I understand it, state laws don't cover caucuses

This is from the NV Secretary of State website:

http://nvsos.gov/index.aspx?page=1543

The Secretary of State plays a limited role in the caucus process. A caucus is governed by rules established by a political party. The Secretary of State's office will provide both parties with the official registration file for the allocation of delegates, assist both of the parties in ensuring that any applicable federal and state election laws are enforced, and ensure that all eligible voters who qualify pursuant to the respective political party rules have the ability to participate.

And there is a state law prohibiting electioneering at polling places but since this is a caucus...

Jon Ralston even tweeted out a photo of the caucus ballot showing Fiore, Bundy-Lovin' Assembly Critter, gettting credit for funding the printing of the ballots.

5. It's just weird that the Repubs don't practice the rules they preach.

Voter-IDs should be mandatory... unless it's in a republican primary.
