Launch of Presidential Global Primary
On Tuesday February 5, American Democrats living in The Netherlands can vote for the first time online in the Super Tuesday Global Presidential Primary. The worldwide primary for expats will send 22 delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Denver in August. Organized by Democrats Abroad Netherlands (DANL), the Dutch electronic voting booth will be open from 5 PM to 9 PM on February 5 at De Balie near the Leidseplein in Amsterdam. Members of DANL can vote and non-members can join, register and cast their votes. A program of guest speakers will begin at 6 PM, including Ruth Oldenziel and Willem Post (historians – American politics), Paul Scheffer (Prof. UvA), and Russell Shorto (dir. John Adams Institute). Greg Shapiro (stand-up comedian, Boom Chicago) will contribute political satire. There will be live music and a bookshop, and the Balie Café will be open for drinks and snacks. Entrance is free.

Would someone please explain how someone from any one of the states can walk in and vote or vote on line? How is that controlled? How do you know that person is a registered voter in his state. And how in the world do you get 22 delegates to send to the convention? It just sounds so not right to me.
