Patrice, please explain. Sanders won 80%, does this mean Clinton now gets more delegates?

Damn it! Still 2 uncommitted delegates, triggers another 30-minute "realignment" period. Thanks a lot, people! Make up your minds!!

FYI, asked the NV Dems Comms Director for a read-out of how the Convention is going, and he passed this message along:

The passing of the rules and initial credentials report was extremely contentious this morning as expected, but things have chilled out now. We have the Sanders folks admitting that they lost fair and square, not because we "rigged" anything. Clinton likely to win the state convention with a slim margin and we'll send a release with final delegate numbers.
