(24,411 posts)This year our caucuses went to shit. In 2008, we had record attendance and participation. This year, a complete shitstorm.
Rampant cheating at the precinct level. Hillary supporters caught on video committing voter fraud. 100 precincts without precinct chairs. Errors found in official state-reported results. Tons of people not on the voter rolls. Caucus sites too small for the turnout. A Des Moines Register editorial written by the entire editorial board titled, "Something smells in the Iowa Democrstic Caucuses", the Iowa Democratic Party Chair refusing to allow an audit of the results, the PDF that listed official precinct results removed from the Iowa Democratic Party website, and on and on.
The difference is--Hillary Clinton and her wake of destruction. Cheating, shenanigans; and surrogates and supporters who heed the "win at all costs" mentality by cheating, stealing and lying.
Again, we had no problems in 2008 with record attendance. The difference this year was Hillary Clinton and her FEMA-worthy campaign.
We've seen this from state to state to state. It's destruction on steroids and a complete and utter disrespect for the people in these states, their processes and our democracy in general.
What a disgrace.
