| Some of you might recall the diaries posted by Pacific John a few months ago. He worked down in Texas in the lead-up to and during the primaries and caucuses, and saw what went down in the caucuses on March 4th. John collected info and documented countless instances of voter abuse and intimidation. I also posted a follow-up to this story HERE and Jerome Armstrong did a great breakdown on primary vs caucus performance. As you can see, there's a lot of information that's already out there.
Dr Lynette Long has taken this up a few notches folks, and has looked into the fraud and abuse in states all around the country. In looking at the data and proof she's collected, you really have to wonder if maybe those saying this nomination was stolen might actually be on to something. Lynette's organized and analyzed the caucus data to demonstrate EXACTLY how the results were purposely manipulated and skewed to secure Obama's nomination.
Check out her excellent example from Nevada-- a state that Hillary won.
Hillary won the state of Nevada 51%-45%
...but by the time the contest reached the state convention, she ended up with 3 fewer delegates!

| Alegre :: Stolen Nomination? Good Question… |
"On January 19, 2008, Hillary Clinton won the Democratic Caucus 51%-45%, a comfortable six point win. The estimated National Delegates were Clinton 13 and Obama 12. At the County the percentages changed to 51% to 49% Clinton and the estimated National Delegate count was now Obama 13, Clinton 12. Nevada's twenty-five "pledged" delegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention were chosen on May 17, Barack Obama had 55% of the votes and Clinton had 45% of the votes when the party had its state convention. There are 14 national delegates for Obama and 11 for Clinton. By time the contest reached the state convention and the delegate count was now Obama 14, Clinton 11. How is this 16 point swing possible? This is a four-delegate swing. How did Clinton lose two delegates and Obama gain two delegates?"
Lynette's site contains many other examples of intimidation, chicanery and outright foolishness....
In one caucus they ran out of ballots--so they used "Post-It" notes--not surprisingly, when the final votes were counted there were more "stickies" than persons present...
Please go to her site immediately and start reading. Trust me: you will be blown away!
This is just the tip of the iceberg you guys. Lynette's set up one hell of a website on the caucus fraud that's gone down in this election. She just sent the following note out...

So, playing by the rulz, or outright fraud and abuse. Take a look at what Lynette's put together and then you be the judge. For my money, this needs to be looked into by the authorities. |
