7:33Now PlayingVoter purging has been a big issue during the Democratic Primary. Now new allegations have surfaced, of Bernie Sanders delegates being switched to Republicans, just before the Nevada convention. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“I’ve never talked about this on DU, but I guess now is a good time.
I'm a Bernie delegate from Iowa. I participated in our County Convention and I was gearing up to participate as a Bernie delegate in our District Convention, which was held two weeks ago. Three days before the District Convention, I get a phone call from a Bernie Sanders staff member.
They were wondering why I was registered as a Republican in the state of Iowa.
I was flabbergasted. Our Iowa Caucuses were Feb 1, and to participate you must be a REGISTERED DEMOCRAT. I participated, gave a speech for Bernie and served as a Precinct Captain. Furthermore, I've voted Democrat my entire life, starting in the early 1980's.
You can imagine my shock. Why was I, a Bernie delegate, now a REGISTERED REPUBLICAN?
I was told that there were other Bernie delegates who were also coming up as REGISTERED REPUBLICANS too. One of them was a life-long Democrat who was also a Democratic County Precinct Chair.”
