Clark County includes all of CD1 and parts of CDs 3 and 4. How exactly the county delegates divide among the 3 CDs greatly influence whether Bernie wins Nevada by 19-16 or 18-17, or (at worst) lose by 18-17.

There's also the other county conventions. Any word from them?
Anticipating more shenanigans to overturn the will of the voters? I guess that is the only path to victory for Sanders.

Why do Clinton supporters criticize caucuses as anti-democratic but not superdelegates seems like more a sore loser thing than a worry for democracy
Because the super-delegates aren't going to overturn the majority of pledged delegates.

Because of the way delegate selection works in Nevada, 23 delegates to the Democratic National Committee are selected on the district level, based proportionally on the Feb. 20 caucus results. Only five pledged party leaders and elected official delegates and seven at-large delegates will be selected proportionally based on party preference of the state convention.

That's not what Green Papers says or how it worked in 2008.
The rules were changed to specifically prevent what happened in 2008 from occurring again.

What bothers me the most is that likely a lot of hardworking Latino people were disenfranchised so that some white college kids can continue their Bernie fantasy for a little longer.

The Green Papers often has incorrect information. The speculation about the district delegates is coming directly from interpretation of the official rules.

This is the difference between Sanders & Hillary supporters. You guys are classless people with no morals -  we have morals, ideals and principles.

Most of Sanders supporters agree that the original people's mandate be over-turned by some ridiculous process - Whether it is Super Delegates or this convention.

YOU COULD NOT GET YOUR SUPPORTERS TO COME - BLAME YOURSELF & DON'T DISGRACE YOURSELF WITH THESE PETTY COMMENT!

BTW I fully sympathize for the strenuous ridiculous processes - I'm sure old people find it difficult to go through that! And I congratulate all those Hill supporters who went through that!
Deranged rant.
