Follow Up on Nevada Caucus Complaints

  • Shortly after the Nevada Caucus Obama lawyer Robert Bauer sent a letter to Nevada Democratic Chairwoman Jill Derby alleging "early door closings, obstruction of voters and improper handling of voter preference cards" according to an AP article. Reportedly the Obama campaign received 1,600+ complaints. The Obama complaint was followed by a letter from Hillary Clinton's lawyer Lyn Utrecht saying that the Obama campaign and supporters "engaged in a planned effort to subvert the party's caucus procedures to its advantage."
  • On Friday, February 8, 2008 the Nevada Democratic Party Chairwoman Jill Derby sent a letter to Democrats outlining a plan for a committee to review complaints and make recommendations for future caucuses.
  • The letter did not specifically address the complaints of either the Clinton or Obama campaigns.
