**Quite a few of Cruz’s people supposedly quit yesterday. I wonder if this is why?**

Good guess. I was just thinking the same.

Well...this is interesting. Picked it up from a poster on another newsgroup - Did Cruz violate Iowa Election law?

Iowa Election Law, on intimidation, page 82, 39A.2 Election misconduct in the first degree.

1. A person commits the crime of election misconduct in the first degree if the person willfully commits any of the following acts:
Duress. Intimidates, threatens, or coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, a person to do or to refrain from doing any of the following:

(1) To register to vote, to vote, or to attempt to register to vote.

(2) To urge or aid a person to register to vote, to vote, or to attempt to register to vote.

(3) To sign a petition nominating a candidate for public office or a petition requesting an election for which a petition may legally be submitted.

(4) To exercise a right under chapters 39 through 53

https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/ElectionLaws/ElectionLaws.pdf

The text from the flyer reads:
You are receiving this election notice because of low expected voter turnout in your area. Your individual voting history as well as your neighbors are public record. Their scores are published below, and many of them will see your score as well. CAUCUS ON MONDAY TO IMPROVE YOUR SCORE and please encourage your neighbors to caucus as well. A follow-up notice may be issued following Monday's caucuses.

----

First there's the accusation of a 'voter violation', then a follow-up notice may be issued following Mondays caucuses, and if you don't vote we will tell your neighbors.

Sounds like intimidation and threats to me.
