“On one of the Nevada threads there was a very interesting first had report....Sounded like they meetings were rigged and in control of a few people.”

Was it mine? I’ve been very disappointed to see so few first hand reports here. I’m just a homeschooling mom who’s child is a university sophomore at 16. My days consist of being her university taxi and reading FR in between,i.e. I have no life. I hadn’t thought much about the caucus because it was Saturday, and we observe that as the Sabbath, so that took pre-eminence. I kept getting calls about was I going to be able to get out and vote. I kept having to say no. When I got the call about the late caucus (idiot me), I realized why I kept saying, “no, I can’t vote today.” If someone asked me to shop, I’d beg off, go to a game, beg off, etc. It’s such an ingrained habit that I didn’t realize, doh, I’m missing my right to vote. I was asked twice by a reporter why I was there at the evening caucus, and both times my answer was because I observe a Saturday Sabbath. He didn’t seem to like that answer. I’m getting old, my memory is getting bad, and most activities on a Saturday are an unthinking “no,” and I’m married to a Jack Mormon! I played Majhong on my Kindle while waiting for registration and taking in all the talk about the shenanigans earlier in the day. I only have 2 games on my kindle, and since it was a Jewish center, I figured ‘when in Rome’ and if anyone gave me grief, “Oy Vey! I’m playing Mahjong. What?” It was very interesting being a fly on the wall and over hearing voting irregularity complaints. But I’m just a homeschool mom....

No it wasn't yours....But your mention of mahjong brought back many good memories....I refused to check religious preference when I went to college...It was none of their business. Therefore, my suite mates were all Jewish.
As one told me one day: “your nerdiness fits right in”

Learned a lot.
My roommate was an only child of Holocaust survivors (a beautiful love story) I spoke with her mother at least once a day. She called long distance at least five times a day.
I can now recognize a Jewish Mother when I see one LOL
