Please report to DNC and your state voting people. Nothing will be done but we need to let them know and keep the number of examples of this kind of behavior visible. Got any local papers with Dem leanings? Ask them to report the story. Thank you for the post even if it does piss me off!!

I think it is good to keep throwing things back in their faces. Each time I get a 'survey' I write back and (they pay for the return, giggle) tell them why I will not vote for clinton. I know it is annoying to confront them. But we gotta do it! Please, just send them the post. We can let them know they are visible.

in minority neighborhoods and telling them the election was one week after the actual election date. A Republican also got convicted for interfering in New Hampshire's election.

snip

The campaigns are using Votebuilder to determine people's caucus locations. If someone has moved, or if Votebuilder is not accurate about where people are registered to vote, then anything based on Votebuilder will be wrong.

Everyone needs to be encouraged to double check their caucus location based on where they are currently registered to vote, or if they are not registered where they live they will need to search for their caucus location based on their current address.

OMG evil fucking Hillary!1!!1

Oh, I don't know, why don't people do the logical thing and call their ELECTION office and verify their information? Or even stop lying??? no link, no real info. Someone wanting to caucus FOR Bernie, yet has no clue? then of course there isn't even a link in the OP to be able to check out the veracity of it.

IOW

cool story, Bro.

I wouldn't say she is evil, but I don't think she is concerned with a majority if Americans. I think calling her evil is a bit much, but I can understand not liking her as a candidate. Keep up the good work.

GO BERNIE!!!

I didn't feel the need to put the word sarcasm at the end, b/c I thought it was apparent I was having a little fun. It's a something some Hillary supporters do to others just to irritate people.

Maybe there was a mail in caucus form already filled out for Hillary.

I should go through my recycling.

Pretty sick if you ask me.

It is a big pain in the ass to go caucus tomorrow, but I have to.

Other business related happenings I should be at, but the country is more important.....

Reality check time:

The campaigns are using Votebuilder to determine people's caucus locations. If someone has moved, or if Votebuilder is not accurate about where people are registered to vote, then anything based on Votebuilder will be wrong.

Everyone needs to be encouraged to double check their caucus location based on where they are currently registered to vote, or if they are not registered where they live they will need to search for their caucus location based on their current address.

This is not "shady conspiracy stuff". This is just Garbage In Garbage Out.

If you want to try the pre-check system, go to wa-democrats.org/page/2016-democratic-caucuses

If you want to search by address, go to vote.berniesanders.com/wa

Another good search by address is bernadvisory.org, created by our own Jon Culver.

These websites are candidate specific, but the information is accurate for everyone.
Please, everyone. Enough misinformation is being thrown around. We don't need to add to it.

Women over 45 are a prime Clinton demographic. Why the hell would Clinton's campaign want to block people from caucusing that are her likely supporters?

It is easy to find out what your caucus site is. Heck we're seniors and I knew enough to visit the Washington State Democratic Party web site and check where my caucus was. There was even a convenient form for per-registration.

To top it all off a lady from the Democratic part phoned us yesterday to remind us of the caucus and the per-registration. She would have been happy to help us find our caucus site as well.

If this story were true we would expect more than an anonymous accusation. This is the modern world, any mailing could be traced to its source in a very short time. Why wasn't that done?

So if this is the same story it looks like the person moved without changing their registered address.

The OPs story is an exaggeration because the two caucus sites are five miles apart, Milton to Pacific. No wonder the sites got hidden in the wash, people know that Milton and Pacific are not "15 miles and 45 minutes apart".

See you at the caucuses tomorrow, have fun.
