Something is not right.

https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/693232797520101376 Dave Weigel from the Washington Post could not find 1 Iowan from a rally in Davenport. They all came from Chicago.

https://www.yahoo.com/politics/bernie-sanders-is-getting-a-surge-of-volunteers-in-150511299.html
"working to mobilize out-of-state volunteers to flood rural Iowa on behalf of Sen. Bernie Sanders"

Are they having trouble finding Iowa volunteers?

What's going on?!

Howard Dean had big rallies too but he noticed the same people following him everywhere. According to Dave Weigel, his followers aren't even Iowans.

Unfortunately, they can still caucus, and just sign an affidavit claiming they are Iowa residents.

So when Bernie had 27k people see him in Portland, and then LA, it was the same 27k people?

But seriously,, I think every campaign with a good ground game in Iowa is using a lot of out of state volunteers.

So some guy asked five people at a Sanders rally where they came from and they weren't from Iowa? That's not good grounds to base your argument off of. The yahoo article is more concrete, though. It seems as if Sanders has a strong ground game.
Is this considered voter fraud?

Obviously my hypothesis is exaggerated but I am stunned at what Weigel found in Iowa.

Whenever Bernie is in big liberal cities, he gets yuuuuge crowds.

Whenever he's in NH/SC/IA, they're dramatically more modest, and in this case, a lot weren't even from Iowa.

5 weren't from Iowa according to a tweet. That's not enough to make a thread title saying there were no Iowans at a rally. Don't be like the "Hillary Indicted" thread starter guy.

Definitely a lot of parallels between Sanders and Dean.

The out of state Redditors (led by an anti-masturbation advocate) apparently traipsing around rural Iowa also remind one of Dean's infamous, orange-hatted Perfect Stormers.

He's received big crowds in New Hampshire.

Are these people going to caucus? If so, that would be highly unethical considering that they don't live in the state.

I'm usually a very fact based person but just amazed at the behavior, even the Hillary hating moderators. Just trying to jazz up the subject a little. Honestly, Dave's anecdotal reporting is very helpful. Davenport has been his biggest crowds and now we know why.

I hope not.

You don't need photo ID to vote just an affidavit from another voter claiming that you live there. Clinton campaign could challenge the affidavits if it's obvious. It could get ugly.

Bernie Bros already planning to abuse it.

You mean the guy who might have actually beat the bumbling retard who stared blankly into the camera multiple times over the course of 3 debates that Kerry couldn't?  I'll take it.

Dan America reports Clinton has 1500 in Davenport, more than Sanders 1000 competing rally that's composed largely of Chicago hipsters.

Definitely feels like Clinton has all the momentum in this final weekend. Sanders must be sweating LIKE A DOG.

I found it quite amusing Yahoo included that in the article. In all honesty, he is not against masturbation, just daily and mindless masturbation. I do feel when I abstain, I have a fire in me, though abstaining too much interrupts my sleep.

Well, Clinton's campaign isn't saying anything about this, just a few reporters on the ground at the moment.

According to Bloomberg News, they are.

Which reporters are saying it? I can't find anything outside of the hints in that Bloomberg article.
