Fiery Bernie Delegates hold strong against shameful HRC tactics- Polk County, IA Dem Convention

[dana_b]

I give these people a lot of credit for standing there for NINE hours!!! I couldn't do it.

[Kittycat]

1. I am shocked they could even do this to them because of ADA & Firecode

Shame on the HRC camp.

[dana_b]

7. +1

That's why I could never do that. Standing even for 1 hour is torture. Many people are like that.

12. My right knee starts to lock up after a half hour on my feet and

it can take days, even weeks for me to be able to walk without pain (and a limp). I couldn't do it either.

2. Hillary WON Polk County on election day! Why are Sanders supporters OK with these delegates over-

turning that?!?

[newthinking]

3. Nobody knows if they turned or if there were miscounts

Lot's of shenanigans have happened in past years. I tend to think it is likely that this is exposing "inaccuracies" in the chaos of the primary. Looks to me like they counted Bernie Delegates as Hillary's and this is bringing it to light.

5. I agree! But do edit your post. It's Iowa.

[newthinking]

9. fixed

Thanks for catching that.

6. Hillary's 'win' is looking like rotten au gratin

In lay terms -- she cheated and has been caught.
Time to look at Nevada.

11. Recounts are part of the caucus system. You don't have to like it. You do have to deal with it.

[roody]

19. The system in Iowa requires a

real commitment. Then you have to show up to county, district, and state conventions.

[yourpaljoey]

4. We MUST make them count ALL the Bernie votes in EVERY state!!!!!

[roguevalley]

15. if there is foul play, yes. other wise, no. Given hrc's cheating heart, this is no surprise.

[GoneFishin]

8. I see that a lot of people dislike caucuses, but at least there are actual people being counted or

miscounted, who are handily on location to witness the dirty tricks. I am much more worried about the problems we can't see due to electronic voting. If Hillary's team actually has the nerve to try to trick some Bernie delegates into going home prematurely, with witnesses present, then you can't count on much worse things being attempted with the electronic vote counting behind closed doors.

16. Yep. The damage HAVA wrought is forgotten but not gone. nt

[Duval]

10. Great post.

There is no way Victor and I could have waited that long. I am so proud to be a Bernie supporter.

[highprincipleswork]

13. Shocking, shameful, disgusting. So proud of those that stayed all those hours.

[Blue Idaho]

14. Yet in the end both campaigns agreed with the final deligate count:

Clinton 704
Sanders 700

17. That doesn't make what happened right. nt

[Blue Idaho]

20. It's a caucus

What happened is what happens at caucuses. All. The. Time. I live in a caucus state - and I really don't like 'em.

[SusanCalvin]

21. So it seems we agree that doesn't make it right.

[Blue Idaho]

22. No

Please let me take care of my side of the conversation. It's not right or wrong - it's what happens at caucuses.

[SusanCalvin]

23. Okey dokey.

In my defense, you did say you didn't like them.

[Blue Idaho]

24. For me it's not about this "one"

It's about all of them.

But I don't mean to sound abrupt.

Be Well!

[SusanCalvin]

25. Best wishes to you also.

[Blue Idaho]

26. Thank You Susan!

18. K&R!

[warrprayer]

27. K&R

For Bernie!

[roody]

28. We only stood for this action for 1 or 2 hours

at most. The day went on for 9 hours+.

[Phil1934]

29. Here is the final tally

and it shows Hillary winning Polk County
