Nevada state convention delegates choose district delegates

[jfern]

Ralston is wrong. From the PDF that Ralston had an image of.

Delegates and Alternates will be selected by a caucus of a state
convention delegates from the unit who sign statements of support for
that presidential candidate in their Congressional District Caucus.

According to Green Papers, the State Convention delegates will be chosen May 14th and 15th from the county delegates chosen today.

1. They still be be chosen to reflect the results of the original caucus

7. Fair Reflection of Presidential Preference
a. Caucus/Convention Proportional Representation Plan (Rule 13.A, Rule
13.B & Rule 13.D)
Nevada is a caucus/convention state. Accordingly, delegate and
alternate positions shall be allocated so as to fairly reflect the
expressed presidential preference or uncommitted status of the

caucus participants in each district. Therefore, the national
convention delegates elected at the district level shall be allocated
in proportion to the percentage of the caucus vote won in that
district by each preference, except that preferences falling below a
15% threshold shall not be awarded any delegates or alternates.

2. That's in the same section I quoted

where it's state convention delegates who choose the national delegates.

3. And choose them to match the February allocations (nt)

[jfern]

5. Nope, that section is about state convention delegates

The national district delegates are chosen in proportion to the state convention delegates in that district.

13. Section VI F

Delegates elected to the national convention pledged to a presidential candidate
shall in all good conscience reflect the sentiments of those who elected them. (Rule 12.J)

14. Yes, the state delegates who elected them

15. Chosen by the precinct caucuses.

This is ripe here for a special bylaws committee if Clinton thinks it's worth it (probably drafting post-primary proceedings under Rule 13 as I type this). Odds are the Clinton campaign lets it go unless Sanders gains significant ground in NY. It's an embarrassment to be sure.

6. LOL. No. It says nothing about that. This is why the term "non-binding" is used.

Anyone whose been through the state convention process would know that your work isn't done just by going to your precinct convention. On the contrary, it's just begun.

Except for a lot of Hillary's delegates in Nevada, I guess. I guess they really are done.

[reformist2]

4. Yep. The reflexive "Bernie didn't win" posts were just Hillary supporters in denial, yet again.

7. This will be too much inside baseball to explain

oy

given how damn close this race is... that small thing in NV might prove critical. I bet there will be a challenge NOT to sit the NV delegation at national.

8. I am really looking forward

to the chaos that will be the national convention this summer. It is going to be fucking insane!

16. Don't forget the other one

Fire season and civil unrest season...what is not to like!



And yes, we are ready for both

9. Rule 13 of the 2016 Democratic National Convention Delegate Selection Plan.

The only thing this changes is that maybe some Sanders supporters have to go to the convention as Clinton delegates, which is unlikely to happen, because they wouldn't want to do that anyway.

10. Investigation

"Ms. Kramar has publicly engaged in a series of egregious, disruptive and biased behavior that irreparably undermines her credibility to administer a fair and successful convention," Clinton campaign general counsel Marc Elias wrote.

Elias said that in a email, Kramar exposed Clinton "campaign information and data by unilaterally adding a representative of Senator Sanders' campaign into a chain of email correspondence between [Hillary for America] the Clark County Democratic Party and the Nevada State Democratic Party. "
