2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I just read why 64 Bernie NV delegates had their credentials stripped--and I shed a tear or two [View all]CoffeeCat
(24,411 posts)at the end of April--when I got a call that I was a registered Republican, and I had our District Convention coming up in a few days.
I was shocked that I was a Republican--because nearly a month earlier, on March 12, I had participated in our County Convention as a Bernie delegate and passed the credentials check that all Bernie delegates went through. It took nearly 2 hours to check all of our credentials one by one, as the Hillary supporters contested each Bernie delegate's credentials.
I was shocked that I was a Republican because I had re-registered as a Democrat the night of our Feb 1st Caucuses, in order to participate.
I didn't think that being a Republican before, had anything to do with this. As far as I was concerned, I had been a Democrat at the March 12th Convention and I had re-registered again as a Democrat on Feb 1st.
That is why I called the auditor's office. I posted the info I learned from the auditor immediately after getting off the phone. That they had no record of me switching back to D; and they also had no record of me registering as a Dem on Feb 1.
And yes, you are repeatedly posting the glaring error I made about when I said I switched from R back to D. You have posted at least 20 posts about this--starting threads. Replying on many different posts. I am doing my best to keep up with everything that you are posting about this situation.
I obviously made a huge error regarding when I switched my registration. But I know I switched it. I had to physically go down to the auditor's office downtown. Yesterday, after the auditor told me that my registration was never switched, I was completely blown away. I immediately told my husband this and I asked him if he remembered when I switched. He didn't, but I knew it was after an election. I thought it was after the Republican caucuses. I knew I wanted to get that switched back. I obviously did not do it then, and most likely did it around the timeframe after the GE.
I am shocked about all of this frankly! I apologize to everyone for getting the timeframe wrong. But my mistake does not negate the fact that I did switch my registration from R to D (and there's no record of that).
I also re-registered as a Democrat on Feb 1, the night of the caucuses--because I was not on the voter rolls, like half of the other registered Dems who showed up that night (and there's no record of that either).
I am embarrassed that I got the timeframe wrong and am doing my best to try to explain it. I understand that people don't believe me, and that is fine. It's a confusing story and I was wrong about when I switched back.
