Yes... They raised a concern with regards to the way the NV Party was planning to allocate their National Convention delegates, which is up to the discretion of the state party as long as they comply with the Rules.  The National Convention delegates were elected at the May 14th State Convention.  We responded and said that our Rules provide for a process for implementation challenges that happens after the alleged harm has occurred.  And that raising this question when the event hasn't even occurred is 'unripe' which the request also recognized. We provided the steps that are required to properly file a challenge, which are also provided in the NV Delegate Plan, and said that the RBC would review any challenge properly filed.

The reporters assessment is correct but the issue was about national convention delegate allocation and nothing more.

Hi guys

So I wanted to ask you something I was told: that the Sanders campaign sent the DNC rules and bylaws committee some kind of email or complaint about the Nevada Democratic Party ahead of the primary charging that the party wasn't following the state rules for the convention. This happened before the convention, I'm told, and didn't really merit any action since the convention hadn't happened yet. You guys know anything about that?
