Some Cleveland Tea Party
patriots will have already seen this report, since it was linked on Drudge
today, but it is very disturbing:
UTAH
CAUCUS: First hand insider report - Incompetence, Manipulation, and Ballot
Stuffing!!!
Just got back from
my caucus... My head is still spinning.
Check in was slow
but reasonably controlled. Super-long lines. I've never seen turnout like this.
Got my credentials,
but no presidential ballot. They said those would be delivered to our caucus
room.
Got to my caucus
room. I counted about 120 people there (no idea how many were actually
registered and credentialed).
We elected Precinct
Officers, State Delegates, and County Delegates - the typical incompetence and
ignorance of the rules you'd expect to see from volunteers, but all went
somewhat smooth.
...Then came the
Presidential Ballot.
Someone shows up
with a stack of probably 250 ballots. The precinct chair splits them up, and
starts handing stacks of them out and tells people "take one and pass it
down".
No checking
credentials, IDs, NOTHING.
I'm sitting at the
end of a row and people start handing me stacks of extras. I literally had over 50 ballots in
my hand.
We were told to
mark our vote and place our ballot in a tin can. They then asked for a
volunteer to hold the can. At this point, most people filed out the door.
I cast ONE vote,
then stuck around to see what would happen with the votes.
About 15 minutes
later, with only about 10 or so people milling around, someone walks in the
room with an envelopes STUFFED full of "absentee" ballots - some
envelopes having 2-5+ ballots.
I raised a question
and said, "isn't there an absentee process already in place? Didn't people
have to register for that last week?" and was told "Oh no, this is
completely normal".
As I've mentioned
in other threads, I was in Party leadership for 6 years and no, this is
absolutely not normal.
I then asked if I
could observe the vote count, and I was told my observations were not needed
and to leave the area while the ballots were being counted.
I left the room
(things were already a complete Charlie Foxtrot at this point) and wandered
over to my friends precinct caucus to see if it was just as much a cluster.
His caucus was just
getting to the presidential ballot, and as I walked in the door I was handed
ANOTHER BALLOT.
Again, no
credential check, no ID check, NOTHING.
No, I didn't vote
again...
I went back to my
precinct and they had the results:
74% Cruz
14% Trump
11% Kasich
Now just imagine
this kind of outright incompetence/manipulation happening in 2000 precincts
across the state.
As I left the
building, I started overhearing results coming back from other precincts...
Overwhelmingly numbers for Cruz... Like 70-90% or more. (In one precinct Cruz
got around 100, Trump had 2, Kasich 0).
Bottom line... They
basically are going to post whatever the hell numbers they want.
There were no
apparent controls, no credential checks, no ID checks, and ballots being handed
around like napkins.
UTAH RESULTS ARE A
COMPLETE SHAM.
