What Happened at the Clark County Convention?

Information filtered through social media on Saturday, April 2 that something was amiss at the Clark County Democratic delegate convention held in Nevada. Several days later, that something was still not entirely clear.




long, long investigative explanation....

and conclusion:


Other tweets showed the Bernie Sanders website and its detailed call to action, along with correct information regarding delegate attendance. A digital “invite” sent by Kramer stated that delegates did not need to show up. It is this crucial piece of misinformation that led to a higher attendance of Bernie supporters and the change in delegate count, which favored Sanders.


The juxtaposition between Kramer’s email and the call to action on the Sanders’ website support Clinton’s case:

1. The Sanders’ campaign had the correct instructions regarding attendance of delegates.

2. The Sanders’ campaign was planning to mass individuals to take the place of any no-show Clinton delegates.
Lastly, a tweet from a Sanders supporter praises the overwhelming show of “new” Bernie delegates, per the website instructions. Kudos is given to the Reditt group, which links its involvement in the Clark County action.

Let him answer for his followers. They're the ones breaking rules and the law in his name.

....and sent a number of them (all maybe?) correspondence telling them they didn't have to show up at the convention. Then when they didn't, they had a whole bunch of Sanders supporters waiting to be "alternates" for the no-shows. As a result, hundreds of votes at the convention switched from elected Clinton delegates to alternate Sanders supporters, and two delegates that had previous been Clinton delegates were defeated by the fake Sanders convention delegates.

So the ultimate Nevada delegate count changed from 20-15 to 18-17, still a win for Clinton.

These are the moral, responsible, non-oligarch people. Scummy, if you ask me.

She's not an operative. As credentials chair, she was supposed to oversee the credentials process for delegates -- like my wife and myself -- without bias.
