Dishonest DNC at it again: Colorado votes were misreported by officials for 5 weeks

[RJ Liberty]

In yet another example of voter disenfranchisement, it's been discovered that the caucus tallies for Colorado were misreported, and Bernie Sanders won more delegates than originally reported. The Colorado DNC knew of the issue, and reported the problem to the Clinton campaign, but the public, media, and Sanders' campaign were not told, until an investigation by the Denver Post uncovered the cover-up.

The revelation that the state party misreported the results to the public March 1 — and kept it quiet to all but the Clinton campaign for five weeks — comes as Sanders promotes his case that he can win the Democratic nomination.

And it arises a day after the Colorado Republican Party faces blistering criticism from Donald Trump and his supporters about how it awarded national delegates in what the candidate called a "rigged" system.

The double-barrel controversies regarding Colorado's caucus system will only reinforce calls for the state to move to a primary vote that allows more transparency and participation among voters.

The new math became apparent when the 1st District convention straw poll Saturday gave Sanders took five delegates and Clinton three.

Palacio said Clinton didn't lose support in the 1st District, "we just misreported it."

"It was basically one site," he added. "Whomever dialed the numbers in must have had a little weirdness happen. The official results were reported correctly, but when they dialed them in using the touch-tone, it looks like something got transposed."

"Must have had a little weirdness happen"? What does that even mean? The numbers that were reported were wrong, and the state party hid the fact that they were misreported until now. Only Hillary's campaign was alerted, and the state party hid the issue until it was uncovered by the media.

Yet another example of our corrupt two-party system...

Yeah, I was about to say that.

so instead

But it's fair, the political process is suppose to happen that way. If it didn't, it wouldn't happen all the time.

Heh. Yep. They're not really even trying to hide the lies anymore, in either party establishment. The bullshit level is through the roof in the explanation as to why this was never reported to anyone except Hillary Clinton's campaign:

Palacio said he didn't tell the Sanders camp about the divergent numbers "because it didn't necessarily affect (them). It was our mistake that ended up affecting the estimation of Hillary's campaign."

How in the hell could he say that with a straight face? The misreported numbers didn't affect the Sanders campaign? Holy shit. How did this not affect the public, who voted? How did this not merit mentioning to the media? Total bullshit from the Democratic establishment.
