Riled Sanders fans rise up as state Democratic convention begins

The anti-convention event at the Egan Civic and Convention Center comes because Florida congresswoman and Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz plans to give the keynote speech at the convention in Anchorage Saturday, Cullinane said.

Alaskan Democrats gave Sanders 81.6 percent of their support in the March caucus. Many believe Wasserman Schultz has limited debates and unfairly allocated resources to give Clinton a boost, he said.

“A lot of us feel that Debbie Wasserman Schultz has displayed very unethical behavior,” he said.

Also there is reason to suspect Hillary did not even get 18% as this is NOT the way a caucus works...looks like stuffing the ballot box in Anchorage to me...

Any further news on the votes that were given to Clinton from people that weren’t there at the Anchorage caucus?

The Hillary people were there. They were in the balcony with their District 18 voter cards until the Caucus Leader took their cards from them and told them they could leave. That was a mistake by the Caucus Leader. But, since the Caucus Leader is the person in charge of each district caucus, it was entirely reasonable for the Hillary supporters to follow her instructions. Counting the cards was a fair solution to the problem caused by the Caucus Leader’s error. I’m sure she regrets her mistake.
