"""Larry Wayne Lindsey is a Republican voter from Douglas County. Lindsey, an enthusiastic supporter of Donald Trump, posted videos to social media this weekend after he showed up at the state assembly and was told he wasn't registered to attend. He had no evidence that he was a delegate, but claimed that he was being disenfranchised. Even worse, in the video he seems to claim that he was specifically turned away because he was going to vote for Trump.
In fact, according to a series of conversations with party officials, while Lindsey did show up to his precinct caucus and was elected as a delegate to the county assembly,
he never showed up to the county assembly, or, at the very least, never signed in for his credentials. On Facebook, he erroneously claimed he'd been elected as a delegate to the state assembly from his precinct caucus,
something that is not possible under the rules in Douglas County.
"Since Mr. Lindsey did not attend the County District Assembly he was not elected to be a delegate to the State Assembly, nor could he have been, so there is no way that he would have been listed as a delegate to the State Convention when he tried to check in on Saturday morning," Tanne Blackburn, chairman of the Douglas County Republican Party, explained in a press release."""
And now you know.....the rest of the story.
