It's just really short-sighted to glom all Iowans together like they are farmers or something...

Tacky-O
Walmart Melania has decided that a little election misinformation is just the thing to get unpopular off-brand fascist, Cracker Orbàn, over the hump in Iowa:
SIOUX CITY, Iowa — The Republican Party of Iowa on Friday clarified that out-of-state residents cannot take part in its presidential nominating contest after Florida first lady Casey DeSantis — the wife of candidate Ron DeSantis — urged mothers and grandmothers from around the country to “descend upon the state of Iowa to be a part of the caucus,” and added, “you do not have to be a resident of Iowa to be able to participate in the caucus.”
Casey DeSantis, who often joins her husband on the campaign trail, has been promoting a “Mamas for DeSantis” 2024 coalition. She said on Fox News that “we’re asking all of these moms and grandmoms to come, from wherever it might be — North Carolina, South Carolina — and to descend upon the state of Iowa to be a part of the caucus.”
With Ron DeSantis sitting silently beside her, Casey DeSantis added, “Because you do not have to be a resident of Iowa to be able to participate in the caucus.” She said that people should come “let their voice be heard in support of Ron DeSantis,” the Republican governor of Florida.
Anyway, she then tried to clarify, and hilarity ensues:
We’ve built a nationwide coalition of moms who are mobilized to help elect @RonDeSantis: Mamas for DeSantis.
While voting in the Iowa caucus is limited to registered voters in Iowa, there is a way for others to participate. I’m calling on mamas and grandmamas from all over the… pic.twitter.com/vlVLIHiiUF

Still, Casey DeSantis’s comments spawned enough confusion that the Iowa GOP posted its own guidance on X late Friday afternoon. “Remember: you must be a legal resident of Iowa and the precinct you live in and bring photo ID with you to participate in the #iacaucus!” the organization wrote.
The incident even caught the attention of Nebraska voters who showed up to a Sioux City, Iowa, event for rival GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Friday evening. Attendee Deb Pieper brought it up unprompted.
Good work Lady MacBoots. The whole circus is going to descend upon Iowa, and the garbage Caucuses are going to be with extra garbage.

Tonight is the #DemDebate, and it will be a very pivotal one, as New Hampshire's primary will be next Tuesday. Buttigieg and Sanders go into this debate as the co-winners of the #IACaucus.
This will likely be the last stand for Yang and at least one of Klobuchar, Biden, Steyer, and/or Warren. #NHPrimary

This #IACaucus vote in Iowa is a debacle. The very mechanism for democracy, the vote, is being compromised by people who don't get it. I think it's designed to undermine the whole process and soften us up for even greater atrocities against democracy. We need to value #penonpapervote in the US, and we need to kill big money.

This is what sets Bernie apart from the rest. He brings hope.
She flew to Iowa to volunteer for Bernie from CA
Her husband died to the flu *in 2018* because they didn't have insurance, so she's raising her kid alone.
She's facing eviction in California.
This is why we have to win.
