The Daily Kos has an article outlining widespread voter suppression in the Democratic Caucuses in Nevada. Read the entire article here. I was so upset that I called the Nevada Obama office to find out if it was true. I was told by a Nevada staffer that he was receiving many reports from all over the state of voter suppression, intimidation and misinformation on the part of the Hillary Clinton campaign. If true, (and I have few doubts given how Hillary's campaign has been run thus far,) this is sickening and a sad day for the Democratic Party and America. These are the kind of sleazy and possibly criminal behavior that we have some to expect from the Bush and Rove. Unfortunately, The Hillary Clinton campaign seems to have learned their lessons from this kind of sleazy Rove-style campaigning. I am disgusted by this perversion of everything that America stands for. I urge everyone to contact their elected officials to investigate this matter and be on the watch for further underhanded campaigning by the Hillary Clinton Campaign.
The Obama campaign worker in Nevada whom I spoke to told me "It's not so upsetting that we lost. It's how we lost that's so upsetting."
P.S. As I am an Obama precinct captain, I must clearly state that the above writing is fully and completely my own. I have had no direction from the Obama campaign and take full responsibility for its content. My opinions expressed above do not necessarily reflect those of Senator Obama or any other member of his campaign staff.

About Me
- Matt
- Lima, Ohio, United States
- I was born and raised in Ohio. I am a lifelong Catholic Christian who has always been interested in the big questions of life. I have a passion for learning especially Philosophy, Science, Religion, History and Culture. I graduated from the University of Toledo in 2001 with a B.A. in International Relations. I married my soul-mate, Jen in 2001 and we moved to rural Tanigumi-mura Japan where we taught English for 3 years. We moved to California and lived in San Francisco and the Bay Area for 4 years. Tired of sitting on the sidelines, I began volunteering for the Barack Obama campaign in March of 2007 and was eventually hired as a Field Organizer. Through the Obama campaign, I found my calling and moved back to Ohio to continue organizing. In 2009 I helped the field operations of the Keith Wilkowski for Mayor of Toledo race. After that, I was hired as a Regional Field Director for 15 northwestern and north central Ohio counties for the 2010 Democratic Coordinated Campaign. Jen and I are continuing to volunteer as we wait for the next organizing opportunity to present itself.
