b*****d 发帖数: 61690 | 1 The Nevada Republican Party on Tuesday confirmed that voters are prohibited
from recording at caucus sites during the state's caucuses.
The confirmation comes after a lawyer representing Donald Trump’s campaign
sent a letter to state party Chairman Michael McDonald citing allegations of
dirty tactics from Ted Cruz’s campaign, including a Wall Street Journal
report that suggests Cruz’s camp has told supporters to use their
cellphones to record video of suspicious activity at caucus sites.
“In light of recent events, regarding instructions for supporters to record
and report suspicious conduct in today's caucus, the Nevada Republican
Party affirms that members of the general public may observe the caucusing
process and encourages any individual who observes any suspicious conduct to
immediately notify precinct and/or party leaders,” the Nevada Republican
Party’s press office said in a statement. “However, no member of the
general public shall be permitted to photograph, film or otherwise record
the caucusing process.”
Donald McGahn, Trump’s lawyer, told McDonald that recording voters could
have an “intimidating effect” on caucus-goers.
“The Nevada Republican Party is committed to assuring the caucusing process
is free from intimidation, threats or nefarious activity of any kind,” the
press office said. “Simply put, the Nevada Republican Party encourages
participation in the caucuses so that voters in Nevada will have the
opportunity to express support for their candidate of choice without fear
and knowing that they are an integral part of the important political
process.”
