The judge on 4 against one said yesterday under the Iowa statute against coercing voters...a law unique to Iowa.

Coercing voters? You’ve got to be kidding me. If lying to voters was a crime, then no politician would ever escape prison.

Carson is not now, nor has he ever been a serious candidate. You know it. I know it. Carson knows it. Trump knows it.

Carson is going to drop out and soon. Not a single voter was “coerced” into voting for Cruz because of the information that was being disseminated. For the most part, everything was true. Carson left Iowa the day before the Caucus to fly to Florida to change his underwear.

You are really grasping at straws if you think some law about “coercing” voters was broken.

Get a grip x. This is a distraction. I can’t believe all the people who are getting their panties in a knot over this.

coerce: persuade (an unwilling person) to do something by using force or threats.

Please explain how telling a voter that you think their candidate may be dropping out of the race constitutes “using force or threats”.

I have no idea what "4 against one" is, there was no coercion, and the people attending were "caucus goers", they weren't "voters".

Do you know the difference between what a candidate can do at a caucus vs what a candidate can't do to a voter?
