agschmid, you get my thanks for your post. Its nice to see a nice roguevalley Dec 2015 #63
I would not assume that at all, WillyT. This is the membership telling DFA what to do. merrily Dec 2015 #43
I Thought I Remembered Reading It Somewhere... Maybe I Got It Confused With The Original Petition... WillyT Dec 2015 #44
I don't know anything about Jim Dean individually. The stories I remember were about DFA. merrily Dec 2015 #50
Well... According To This, DFA Was Turned Over To Jim Dean In 2005: WillyT Dec 2015 #53

You could only vote once, DFA member chose Bernie. peacebird Dec 2015 #3
You could vote as many times as you wanted. Fact. nt. NCTraveler Dec 2015 #5
I only voted once. Agschmid Dec 2015 #7
Yes. All that was required was a good email address. I only voted once as well. nt. NCTraveler Dec 2015 #9

They also did IP address monitoring (this was their 'security review'). JonLeibowitz Dec 2015 #17
lol. IP monitoring. Would have had to use a mobile phone. Bigger lol. nt. NCTraveler Dec 2015 #19
Yes, I edited my post to mention that. Not quick enough I see. JonLeibowitz Dec 2015 #20
I rcvd several invites, but after my first vote, it always showed who I had voted for and would have peacebird Dec 2015 #11
All it took was a different email address. nt. NCTraveler Dec 2015 #12
Ah, well, I don't do that. One poll, one vote. peacebird Dec 2015 #16
I normally don't vote in them. I did in this one. Once as well. I have a feeling most did just that. NCTraveler Dec 2015 #18
I only voted once. Fawke Em Dec 2015 #27
I have three emails UglyGreed Dec 2015 #58
How do you know, if you didn't try to vote a second time? Also, it took more than one email addy. merrily Dec 2015 #45
Even if that were the case, it wouldn't explain why 77% of existing DFA members chose Bernie JonLeibowitz Dec 2015 #22
Maybe the existing members had multiple emails Mnpaul Dec 2015 #60
I didn't realize that. BlueMTexpat Dec 2015 #24
It's not actually true. jeff47 Dec 2015 #42
Then so could Hillary voters, if they could figure out how. Scuba Dec 2015 #69
Never said anything different. NCTraveler Dec 2015 #70
I think their process was ok. NCTraveler Dec 2015 #4
Same here. I love DFA. BlueMTexpat Dec 2015 #26
Sanders got 77% of the vote of people who were DFA members before the vote. jeff47 Dec 2015 #40
Which means that by "DFA member" they mean sufrommich Dec 2015 #8
Correct. nt. NCTraveler Dec 2015 #15
See post 22. This talking point is pretty lame. JonLeibowitz Dec 2015 #23
So people signed up with DFA before this poll just in case DFA did this poll? merrily Dec 2015 #46
They have both of mine. I voted twice, because, online poll! Starry Messenger Dec 2015 #56
It's a good endorsement. He was bound to get a few endorsements ... however ... NurseJackie Dec 2015 #13
Despite the fact angrychair Dec 2015 #47
I'm not sure about those numbers, but I am sure that it's not 2007. NurseJackie Dec 2015 #51
You're right about the amount of work involved to get Bernie elected. Nobody said it would be easy.* hedda_foil Dec 2015 #61
Speaking of sour grapes.... merrily Dec 2015 #48
Yes? NurseJackie Dec 2015 #49
You had to give your name and contact information. Fawke Em Dec 2015 #25
Three clicks and twenty five or so characters. lol. Not just a simple click. nt. NCTraveler Dec 2015 #29

Is that what you're going to say if as expected Clinton wins the nomination mythology Dec 2015 #62
I don't care if people voted by carrier pigeon. It was still over 270,000 members who voted. merrily Dec 2015 #39
But wait, when unions endorse Hillary.... Tarc Dec 2015 #52
DFA isn't a union. HerbChestnut Dec 2015 #54
How did you know that the powers that be are trying to rig the nomination towards Hillary? highprincipleswork Dec 2015 #57
