*PolitiFact: Allegations of fraud and misconduct at Nevada Democratic
convention unfounded

*Our ruling:*

Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said Nevada Democratic Party leaders
"hijacked the process on the floor" of the state convention "ignoring the
regular procedure and ramming through what they wanted to do."

Caucuses and delegate math can be incredibly confusing, and the arcane
party structures don’t reflect how most people assume presidential
selection works.

But the howls of unfairness and corruption by the Sanders campaign during
Nevada’s state Democratic Convention can’t change the simple fact that
Clinton’s supporters simply turned out in larger numbers and helped her
solidify her delegate lead in Nevada.

There’s no clear evidence the state party "hijacked" the process or ignored
"regular procedure."

*We rate this claim False.*
