DES MOINES, Iowa — Democrats in the early presidential contest states of Iowa and Nevada will be able to cast their votes over the telephone instead of showing up at their states' traditional neighborhood caucus meetings next February, according to plans unveiled by the state parties. The tele-caucus systems, the result of a mandate from the Democratic National Committee, are aimed at opening the local-level political gatherings to more people, especially evening shift-workers and people with disabilities, whom critics of the caucuses have long said are blocked from the process. The changes are expected to boost voter participation across the board

I had posted about Iowa caucus changes just a couple of days ago.
The logic behind making Iowa caucuses so important back in the 1970s was that well informed citizens of Iowa would gather in family homes, engage in rational discussions, and make a public commitment to their candidate. It was to be a beautiful displaly of democracy.
They have now flushed it down the drain. Corrupted participation will follow, like night follows day.
As for Nevada, it has been corrupt from day one, so - meh.

How can that be? The Iowa game of Red Rover was very entertaining.

The cauci are a production of the Democrat party of each state, although this change seems to have been mandated by the DNC. So it's rigged to clear the field for the 20-odd candidates so the heavyweights can get down to business and get it over with. What does anyone care? It's Uniparty (Dem Division) business as usual.

I'm in Ireland. This sounds pretty cool.
I'm a Muslim in a suburb of Stockholm. This sounds pretty cool.
I'm a Somalian waiting for my free plane ticket to Minnesota. This sounds pretty cool
You get my drift?

Aimed at "opening the local-level political gatherings to more people, "especially evening shift-workers and people with disabilities" ... and people in New York, San Francisco, and Chicago and other places nowhere near Iowa and Nevada. Open the vote to be flooded by votes from people that were considered not fit to vote by the nation's founders, and suppress the absentee ballots of patriotic military personnel overseas. Let convicted felons and even non-citizens vote. Even the dead and the imaginary. It's been a tried and true strategy of the Left for over a century.

Here in Nevada, we have had open caucuses. You do not have to be a member of a party to vote in the party caucus...which is basically insane. Republicans, traditionally, never vote in the Democratic Party caucuses. But, Democrats, in the form of union members, students, etc. flood the Republican caucuses, clogging the doors, slowing down the voting and create massive, jostling, screaming chaos. Most Republicans just quit going...so the Rats pick our candidate and theirs. The Republican ticket sitters are usually some looser dunce, while the Democrats are darlings. And that is why you must have closed caucuses. That the "Phone-in" caucus for democrats is going to be the plan, it just makes it that much easier for them to cheat. Mexicans of the illegal persuasion will rule our government now.

No problems here! Phone systems are computers! Computers can be programmed to do evil and they can be hacked to do the same. I know the computer was invented at Iowa State, but I would not trust the good people of the Capitol in Des Moines to know anymore about Voice Systems than my 95 year old Father-in-Law and he can't turn on an iPhone!

Nearly every day I get garbage phone calls. The numbers on my phone ID display are never the same, and every time if I try to return the call I get a "number not in service" message.
The 'Rats have everyone's phone number in their database. They can do mass automated caucus call-ins from one of their call centers in 'Beki-Beki-BekiStan' and have the call centers fake in the local 'phone numbers.
Of COURSE it will be an accurate count!
What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
