The Facts about the Nevada Democratic State Convention on Saturday
These are the facts about what happened at Saturdays Democratic Convention. Its important that everyone understand what happened and why it happened so we can come together and move forward.
It all comes down to simple math:
Based on the county convention results, Bernie Sanders had 2,124 delegate slots to the State Convention and Hillary Clinton had 1,722 delegate slots to the State Convention.
On Saturday at the State Convention, after all of the alternates were seated, Hillary Clinton filled 1,695 of her delegate slots and Bernie Sanders only filled 1,662 at the State Convention giving Clinton a 33-delegate margin of victory.
Clinton only had 27 delegate positions vacant on Saturday. Sanders left 462 vacant. Clinton filled 98 percent of her available delegate slots at the State Convention, and Sanders only filled 78 percent of his available delegate slots.
In plain terms, the Clinton campaign organized and got nearly all of their delegates to the State Convention. The Sanders campaign did not.

For some reason Betnie supporters think that the actual election doesn't matter.

Another conspiracy theory from the Sanders camp. AP, NYT, WP, Ralston, they are all lying.
