WYOMING — The Bernie Sanders campaign issued a press release suggesting democrats check their status before the caucus on Saturday. The Sanders campaign is citing instances in Arizona and New York where voters said they were improperly removed. The cutoff is 5:00 p.m. Friday.
Due to what is expected to be a large turnout, the Executive Committee of the Sweetwater County Democratic Party has made the decision to secure a larger venue for the 2016 Presidential Caucus and County Convention. Originally planned to take place at the Green River Campus of WWCC, the event will now be held at Lincoln Middle School in Green River.
Joe Barbuto, Chairman of the Sweetwater Democratic Party said, “All across the nation, and particularly in the Western States, record numbers of voters have been coming out to participate in Democratic caucuses and primaries. After discussing the matter with the Wyoming Democratic Party and representatives of the presidential campaigns, we expect that will be the case in Sweetwater County, too.”
The Sweetwater County Democratic Party 2016 County Convention and Caucus will be held on Saturday, April 9th, 2016 at Lincoln Middle School located at 350 Monroe Avenue in Green River, Wyoming. Doors will open at 9 AM and the convention will begin at 11 AM.
The press release follows:
Everyone planning on participating in the Democratic Caucus on Saturday, April 9th is encouraged to verify their voting status. First, call your County Clerk to make sure you are properly registered. Second, ask to pick up a form of written verification (to take with you to caucus) before the office closes Friday afternoon.
Wyoming for Bernie – The People’s Revolution/Bernie Or Bust grassroots spokesperson, Sabrina Giesler said, “In at least Arizona and New York, voters learned too late that they could not vote due to registration issues. Long-time voting Dems, as well as Independents and Republicans who registered this year as a Dem (just so they could vote for Sanders this year) learned they had either been dropped from the rolls or their status was listed other than ‘Dem’.”
