Bernie Sanders is trying to retroactively steal Missouri from Hillary Clinton as we speak

f this headline feels familiar, it’s because today marked the second time in less than a month that supporters of Bernie Sanders have tried to retroactively steal a state that Hillary Clinton had already long-ago won with a majority of the popular vote. Last time it was Nevada, a cheating scandal which cost at least one local official her job but failed to flip the state in Bernie’s favor. This time Bernie’s supporters are trying to retroactively steal Missouri, and the saga is playing out as we speak.

The only current sources of information come from a Reddit post and a forums post on the part of the Sanders supporters who appear to be behind the Missouri hijacking attempt. While these posts are absolutely not legitimate sources in terms of how the delegate voting actually went today, they do make clear that Sanders supporters once again tried to steal a state.

Their claim this is once again that delegates for Hillary Clinton mysteriously failed to show up; last time they made this claim, it was because a local official who was apparently in the tank for Sanders sent out messages telling Clinton delegates they didn’t need to show up, while Sanders supporters – seemingly aware in advance that such an opportunity was going to be created – organized to pack the hall so they could be named alternate delegates.


Is this happening again ??? I hope not...

1. I suspect Hillary folks in MO are onto this. Lets hope so.

2. I hope Hillary folks in MO know this.....

3. Did those cheaters ever stop to think for one fucking moment that nobody wants a Cheater in

the White House.. No one with principles or honor does.. certainly not the Super Dels. So their cheating is in vain.. all it does is out them as cheaters.

Thank you, Iamaartist

4. This is so unreal sooner he is gone the better.... your welcome Cha

12. Democratic party rules do not allow this

Each state has a delegate selection plan that controls. Each candidate gets to vet their delegates and have approval rights over their delegates. I just looked at the Missouri Delegate Selection Plan that the Sanders people can not change the results of the primary.

BTW, I am helping vet delegates for my senate district for the Hillary for American campaign and I know that lady who is doing this for a neighboring district

[Cha]

13. Thank for for this, Gothmog.

Have an interesting time helping to vet the delegates.

[SharonClark]

24. Good to hear the campaign is on top of this

I remember in 2008 that the Obama campaign in Iowa didn't vet one of his delegates for the Democratic National Convention. The guy made a big stink later when he voted Republican in the general election.

[LiberalFighter]

26. You are right. The campaigns have control of who they allow for their delegates.

They can't change the allocation of delegates except to correct the results. Which didn't happen.

Someone over at the Sanders group was of the mind that the outcome was reversed and posted it yesterday.

It seems that Sanders people want to change the rules so that it helps them.


The rules also only allow those that support Clinton to elect their delegates that go to the next step. Sanders people don't get to play.


April 7 Ward, Township, Legislative District, and County Mass Meetings take place across the state.

April 14 Filing deadline for candidates elected at the Ward, Township, Legislative District, and County Mass Meetings to run for district-level delegate at the Congressional District Conventions.

April 21 State Party provides list of district-level delegate and alternate candidates to the respective Presidential candidates.

April 25 Presidential candidates provide list of approved district-level delegate and alternate candidates to State Party.

April 28 District-level delegates are selected at the Congressional District Conventions.

May 7 State Party certifies elected district-level deleApril 7 Ward, Township, Legislative District, and County Mass Meetings take place across the state.

May 1 Pledged PLEO deadline for filing the statement of candidacy and pledge of support forms with State Party.

May 2 State Party provides list of PLEO candidates to the respective Presidential candidates.

6. There seems to be a theory Hillary has bought the super delegates because she has fund raised for

Down ticket candidates and Sanders has been a recipient of Hillary's fund raising. Some apparently believe she has bought the super delegates with this funding, wrong. Hillary has established a relationship with members of congress and the Democratic members are now super delegates. Sanders has been in Congress for twenty five years, he apparently has not established a relationships, put that on Sanders.

[Iamaartist]

8. She does have relationship with the members of congress something he dosen't have

And soon Obama will endorse Hillary .also .....

[Thinkingabout]

9. His failure.

[Iamaartist]

10. Your right his failure

[pandr32]

18. This needs to be told over and over again

Media personalities like Chris Matthews, and others, love to talk about the Sanders' pursuit of superdelegates after the fact, but seem to fail to mention that Sanders never "earned" any superdelegate support over his lengthy political career.

[Thinkingabout]

19. Should have started twenty five years ago, maybe not to run for president one day but to be a

good congressman.

[pandr32]

21. Hopefully we will win enough Dem support in Congress

...that we can begin to be more serious and actually govern. We need to make sure that those elected to Congress in the future uphold a certain standard--that they will roll up their sleeves and get to work...together...not it's-my-way-or-the-highway like Sanders.

11. Under Democratic rules, they can not do this

Under the Missouri Delegate Selection plan, the results of the primary are binding and can not be changes. See rule 6A of the Delegate Selection plan https://drive.google.com/a/chriskoster.com/file/d/0Bw8qd8A8ZSVLY0RGWFNtMlJkdXc/view?pref=2&pli=1 In addition each Candidate has approval rights over their delegates under rule 5 of the Delegation Selection Plan. In Texas, I have been asked to help vet the delegates to the national convention for my Senate district for the Clinton campaign. The campaign takes this vetting process seriously.

I am not sure what the Sanders people think that they are doing. The primary is binding and they can not change the results fo the primary under Missouri Democratic party rules.

[BlueCaliDem]

14. Well, they don't consider themselves Democrats when convenient, so they don't care to abide by the

rules.

I've never seen such sore-loserism and a desire to cheat in order to win by any candidate on our side before Sanders. These attempts, to steal the election by any means possible is just beyond the pale and more characteristic of Teabaggers than Democrats.

[Gothmog]

15. That is what credential committee challenges are for

If Sanders tries to steal delegates as described above, then the credentials committee in Philadelphia will not seat those delegates.

[BlueCaliDem]

16. Happy to read that there are firewalls in place to ensure stealing delegates doesn't happen.

I believe the DNC had made a YUGE mistake allowing Sanders to run under the Democratic Party banner. I hope they've learned from this.

[IamMab]

22. They're probably going to try to become HRC delegates so they can flip their vote in June.

It's like there's a fifth column inside the Democratic Party, trying to help destroy it in Sanders' name. SMH

[BlueMTexpat]

17. Ignoring the will of the voters

and cheating are apparently OK for some SBS supporters.

I believe that the Hillary folks in MO have got this covered. But I believe that such actions are unprecedented in Dem primaries.

Perhaps there should be a rule that one cannot run for the office of President as a Dem unless one actually has BEEN a Dem for at least five years or some such to stop opportunists.

[Lucinda]

25. "Perhaps there should be a rule..."

That is a GREAT idea!

[liberal N proud]

20. He is as corrupt as he tries to portray "the Establishment"

And that pretend Good Guy is dangerous for that reason.

23. K & R for exposure. nt

27. Another kick
