Obama Campaign Accused of Disenfranchising Nevada Voters
cnn.net ^ | 1/23/08 | Lyn Utrecht (Counsel, Hillary Clinton for President)

This letter is not intended as a response to the Obama campaign’s letter. However, in the interest of a complete record, and in contrast to the alleged minor procedural problems noted by the Obama campaign, the Committee wishes to bring to your attention information we have received evidencing a premeditated and predesigned plan by the Obama campaign to engage in systematic corruption of the Party’s caucus procedures. Compounding this blatant distortion of the caucus rules was an egregious effort by the Obama campaign to manipulate the voter registration process in its own favor, thereby disenfranchising countless voters. Finally, the Committee has received a vast number of reliable reports of voter suppression and intimidation by the Obama campaign or its allies.

...Caucus chairs obviously supporting Obama:

o Deliberately miscounted votes to favor Senator Obama.

o Deliberately counted unregistered persons as Obama votes.

o Deliberately counted young children as Obama votes.

...Many Clinton supporters were threatened with employment termination or other discipline if they caucused for Senator Clinton.

...On the whole, these reports show a troubling effort by the Obama campaign and its allies and supporters to advance their own campaign at the expense of the right of all Nevada Democrats to participate in the democratic process in a free, fair and open manner.

Note that this is what Obama’s fellow Democrats say about him. See http://i.l.cnn.net/cnn/2008/images/01/23/nv001.pdf for what Obama says about Clinton’s campaign.

There is something aboutthe Hillary Clinton campaign that reminds me of Doyle Lonnegan character in "The Sting."

Dialogue from the movie during the train poker game:

Floyd: Doyle, I KNOW I gave him four THREES. He had to make a SWITCH. We can't let him get away with that.

Doyle Lonnegan: What was I supposed to do - call him for cheating better than me, in front of the others?
