Everyone check out Steve Wark who has a position with the GOP. Steve Wark is known for dirty political tricks. In past years Steve Wark even raised money for Nader who wasn't running in the GOP.

the state GOP would be wise to take a lesson from Fox (not really) News. they have incurred the wrath of Ron Paul supporters from across the country for their interference in the election process. i hope they are ready for their PRIME TIME interviews on MSNBC and CNN to explain their actions. i will be watching and laughing, and so will the rest of the world when it makes YOU TUBE.

All of this is going to bite the GOP hard in the end. Do they not think Paul's supporters are going to vote for the GOP nominee after what the establishment is doing to Paul? Are they that fricking stupid? If Paul is not nominated, there is NO way in Hell I'm voting for anyone else and I will be writing in Paul's name in the general. The Republican Party is going the way of the Whigs.

John Location: Texas "Where does it say that this problem is only happening to Ron Paul supporters? What you are missing John, is that Nevada is a STRONG State for Ron Paul. It's one where he would come in a STRONG 2ND maybe even 1st. THUS, he would capture A LOT of attention...hopefully...from this and the MEDIA would have to cover it. THEN he wouldn't be "blackout" by the MEDIA. It's not a secret/conspiracy, JUST open your eyes

Where is the media? Have only the cowardly entered that profession? Where is the judicial system? Are they more interested in money than justice? I was always under the impression that both of these professions had a code of ethics but neither seem to trust that their code of ethics has any real meaning. At least trust in God and then get off your butts because God knows that you know!

ALERT!! VOTER FRAUD!! I just spoke with a Ron Paul volunteer caller from the Las Vegas headquarters warning of other callers telling the Ron Paul supporters to go to the Caucus at 9:30am. This would cut Paul's delegate base and he would LOOSE NEVADA! In Washoe County, arrive BEFORE 8:30am to be first in line for your precinct. So that you can be the captain! Then become a DELEGATE FOR RON PAUL! Do NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU OTHERWISE! This sounds like what they pulled in Texas! RON PAUL must be winning Nevada for these scumbags to pull such rotten tricks! GO RON PAUL GO! NEVADA LOVES YOU!

This is the first I heard about the caucus location problem. (I linked to here from Ron Paul''s website. Anyway...I watched a documentary about the Federal Reserve, IRS, New World Order, etc.. I STRONGLY encourage everyone to watch it. It's a film by Aaron Russo, called FREEDOM TO FASCISM. Google the name. I believe it's on YouTube as well. Whether you support Ron Paul (as I do) or you don't, PLEASE watch it. GO RON PAUL!!!

It is our first Nevada Caucus and no one can find their polling place. What a mess! Thank God the Ron Paul campaign brought this to light and fought for what is right!

This in response to Dean from LA. The problem with being at the wrong voting place is this: the vote, "presidential preference straw poll," is not important. What matters is the vote for delegates to represent the precinct at the county level, and on to the the state level, on to the national level. The delegates are who actually get to vote for who gets the GOP party nomination. If you are at the wrong caucus location guess what? YOU DO NOT GET TO RUN AS A DELEGATE NOR VOTE FOR A DELEGATE. Get the picture? This is why this misinformation is so damaging. PS. also of interest is the fact that our delegates are not bound to vote for the candidate they said they would, at any level. They are free to vote any way they chose all the way to the national convention.

Us too! My husband's card had the wrong caucus location and I did not even GET a card! GOP Reno headquarter's NEVER called me back when I left a message reporting it. Of course, since people in the GOP office are also allowed to WORK ON CAMPAIGNS AT THE GOP OFFICE it is not surprising they did not return my call. Despite the press campaign to ignore Ron Paul, and their attempts to convince people not to vote Ron Paul "since he can't possibly win" and despite this attempt by the GOP themselves to confuse voters, WE WILL VOTE FOR RON PAUL!!! He is our only chance to save the constitution and America. Think I'm crazy? Try looking at the latest unpublicized piece of work in Congress right now- HR1955. The Homegrown Terrorism Act. Hidden within this bill is language which makes any American who SPEAKS out or WRITES anything against the governement, can be labeled "terrorist." This passed the house by 400-6, now in the Senate. Ron Paul is our only hope.

Folks, call your friends and neighbors. Go back outside and walk the neighborhoods again. We are working in other states, and we need you in Nevada to get out the vote. Thank you!

why not just use the INCORRECT caucus locations AS the correct locations in addition to the original ones. this way, ALL BASES ARE COVERED. Someone should investigate this. This behaviour is downright corrupt and needs to be addresses asap. Either allow for an extension OF time to allow persons to get from the WRONG place to the right place, OR allow the "new" wrong place to serve as a caucus polling place.
