Just got back from my caucus... My head is still spinning.
Check in was slow but reasonably controlled. Super-long lines. I've never seen turnout like this.
Got my credentials, but no presidential ballot. They said those would be delivered to our caucus room.
Got to my caucus room. I counted about 120 people there (no idea how many were actually registered and credentialed).
We elected Precinct Officers, State Delegates, and County Delegates - the typical incompetence and ignorance of the rules you'd expect to see from volunteers, but all went somewhat smooth.
...Then came the Presidential Ballot.
Someone shows up with a stack of probably 250 ballots. The precinct chair splits them up, and starts handing stacks of them out and tells people "take one and pass it down".
No checking credentials, IDs, NOTHING.
I'm sitting at the end of a row and people start handing me stacks of extras. I literally had over 50 ballots in my hand.

We were told to mark our vote and place our ballot in a tin can. They then asked for a volunteer to hold the can. At this point, most people filed out the door.
I cast ONE vote, then stuck around to see what would happen with the votes.
About 15 minutes later, with only about 10 or so people milling around, someone walks in the room with an envelopes STUFFED full of "absentee" ballots - some envelopes having 2-5+ ballots.
I raised a question and said, "isn't there an absentee process already in place? Didn't people have to register for that last week?" and was told "Oh no, this is completely normal".
As I've mentioned in other threads, I was in Party leadership for 6 years and no, this is absolutely not normal.
I then asked if I could observe the vote count, and I was told my observations where not needed and to leave the area while the ballots were being counted.
I left the room (things were already a complete Charlie Foxtrot at this point) and wandered over to my friends precinct caucus to see if it was just as much a cluster.
His caucus was just getting to the presidential ballot, and as I walked in the door I was handed ANOTHER BALLOT.
Again, no credential check, no ID check, NOTHING.
No, I didn't vote again...
I went back to my precinct and they had the results: 74% Cruz 14% Trump 11% Kasich
Now just imagine this kind of outright incompetence/manipulation happening in 2000 precincts across the state.
As I left the building, I started overhearing results coming back from other precincts... Overwhelmingly numbers for Cruz... Like 70-90% or more. (In one precinct Cruz got around 100, Trump had 2, Kasich 0)
Bottom line... They basically are going to post whatever the hell numbers they want.
There were no apparent controls, no credential checks, no ID checks, and ballots being handed around like napkins.
UTAH RESULTS ARE A COMPLETE SHAM
And it just cost Trump 40 delegates.
‘Those who cast the votes decide nothing.
Those who count the votes decide everything.’
its allowed if its against a non-believer as in non-Mormon...
UT men didn’t vote for Melania? Always heard they were horndogs, hmm..
I live in The People's Republik of Connecticut... Even here in this deep blue state we have to show ID before voting. In CT we vote by simply filling in the bubbles (with a pen) next to our candidates' names. Then we feed the ballot into the machine that "counts" the votes. Pretty simple and quick.
I don't understand these caucuses. Seems like there are too many easy ways to commit voter fraud... Just as you described.
WOW! Thank you for your report.
Utah....the Romney/Cruz Way!
Sort of a political version of Mountain Meadows
Well... the ruling elite know better than to actually allow the peons (US voters) to choose their party's candidate.
The corruption seems twofold; trying to stop Trump and inflame outrage at the theft
I hope they come up with 150% voters. That’s probably what’s taking them so long. They’re making sure they don’t count more votes than there are people. And they say Mormons don’t cheat.
Those who decide who counts the votes, control everything.
Please email the Trump Team with your specifics, name, contact information. They are collecting this kind of documentation for their attorneys to pursue election fraud litigation. There is also Roger Stone’s Stop the Steal (website online) that is spearheading this as well. They need your help to put a stop to this. No system of gov’t can exist without the integrity of the common man. Thank you for your report, M. Thatcher.
Right...absolutely ANY election that the messiah doesn’t win was lost to Him solely through FRAUD. The sad thing is that this “they stole it from us” excuse may follow Donald Trump to this November’s general election with Him leading us to a landslide defeat at the hands of Hillary Clinton (or, perhaps more likely, any random ‘RAT). And THAT is the nightmare that troubles my sleep—that we’re going to GIVE AWAY what should be a sure victory by a conservative Republican.
It sounds like a report from a Chicago precinct.
Sounds like Islam.
Ah yess the religion of the burning heart and its famous peeping stone interpretation specialists go about force feeding the ballot box with the will of their god... Romnius from the planet KOLOB...
Same here. The problem is that the machine does not show YOU what it COUNTED for YOUR VOTE.
How do you know what it recorded your vote as ?
Balloting in Tuesday’s Utah Republican Caucuses will be overseen by a company led by a close associate of Open Society Foundation leader George Soros, noted for his support of liberal causes around the world.
The causes, one of the largest experiments in online voting in America, will be overseen by the Smartmatic Group, headquartered in Britain. Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, chair of the firm’s board, is also on the board of the Open Society Foundation and has close ties to the billionaire as noted on Smartmatic’s own website.
Messiah you say? You mean the dominion its anointed one, whose prophet is Glenn Beck?
Clinton would have called Trump privately and given him a thumbs up. “You see what I’m married to, am I right, Don?”
