BTW question for the Nevadans who attended today's Clark county convention, did they break delegates  down by congressional district or just county wide?

The entire convention hall remained as one group of county-wide delegates.

Hard to see how they can change the District delegate allocation if they did not vote by district.

Might be something we won't know until the State Convention, though with those figures for Clark it does appear likely that Sanders gains a delegate and Clinton loses 1 in at least CD-4 considering that she barely made it 4-2 instead of 3-3 on Caucus night.

Again, most reports are that the congressional district delegates were set by the results of the Feb precinct caucuses, only the at large delegates can change at the state convention. Unless of course the media are all wrong (not impossible). 

As per Green Papers it appears that at the Caucus, delegates were elected to the County Convention.   The delegates at the County Convention elect delegates to the State Convention which then in turn select the national Convention delegates on the CD level and statewide level.  Of course Green Papers could be wrong as not surprising, but there is plenty of conflicting information floating around.

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.

Exactly. Those maids and kitchen staff at the Strip Hotels who barely got off for an hour in February  were not fully represented today. You should not have to commit several weekends to have your vote count.  Not Sanders or Clinton's fault but the system has to change.

Not saying I disagree with that, but not everyone at those Caucus sites were kitcken staff, maids, etc.  In addition to voting for a candidate they also voted for delegates to represent them at the County Convention.  They shouldn't have voted for someone who couldn't make it to the later stages, and someone who couldn't have made it to the later stages should not have agreed to become a delegate to represent them at the later stages.
