PAUL VOTERS BEING TURNED AWAY AT ADELSON

[Aratus]

also, in full fairness, the new special caucus which is untraditional was created because people could not arrive and caucus earlier.
if it is treated like a remainder set for the lower section of nevada in terms of GOP party members, then belonging to the republican
party and not having voted or caucused earlier becomes the way one can be validated. i think we must be flexible and fair with this.

explain that to rank and file GOP. Who believe they have 'representation' in the party.

You're free to make the point that the GOP shouldn't do it, but the thread of discussion I'm having with these two is about legality.

Its not illegal to have a special caucas that caters to a certain group, however you cannot legally discriminate against someone based on relgion. They can have a non-Sabbath caucas but they can't tell non-jews they can't vote their.

That was not the primary issue, the issue was that this was for people who didn't vote earlier, he clearly stated he had already voted, thereby he had no right to be there.

They should have voted at the morning caucuses. There was no reason to wait until the night.

THIS. It's one thing to show up because you couldn't vote in the morning for ANY reason (work, religion, etc.) but to purposely put off voting because you wanted to spite someone else is foolishness.

Title VII covers employment, not attending a caucus.

being a delegate isn't a job?

Didn't a Jewish contractor count the votes in Iowa?

I think if it got to the Supreme court I could make an argument about nonrepresentation in the party being equivalent to denial of a vote under the Voting Rights act...and unconstitutional because of the nonrepresentative monopoly of the parties enforced by government. My aim would be at the monopoly, frankly, not at the caucus.

No, I wouldn't say so, not as defined by employment law. Regardless, any religion can be a delegate.

per this someone was turned away who had NOT voted, because he was Catholic: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?358401-LIVESTREAM-from-ADELSON

You might run into some trouble when the SCOTUS bench asks you who was denied a vote. (Nobody.)

Besides, Voting Rights Act is protecting rights in general elections, not a party selection process. The GOP can choose to flip coins to pick their nominee if they want. They can nominate whichever candidate has lighter hair. There's no laws that make them have a primary process. Why don't I get to vote for who will be the Libertarian Party nominee? Because parties can use whatever silly rules they want to nominate.

At Adelson School caucus, 1st speaker for Gingrich helpfully reminds group "he's been through 3 marriages." #nvcaucus

Now that's bizarre.

 

[affa]

doesn't need one. Let the GOP explain why it IS ok to discriminate by religion, and bye bye GOP.

bingo. This is absurd. And if they replaced 'Jewish' with 'Muslim', Fox would report on it for days on end.

 

[P3ter_Griffin]

If someone had to work earlier it's not as good a reason as your religion causing the scheduling conflict? Please... No way delegates are being allocated from this caucus.

Well, he or she isn't wrong, but that's probably not going to win a whole lot of Jewish votes.
