Bernie Won Nevada - So many states...Irregularities!

http://usuncut.com/politics/bernie-wins-nevada-democratic-cauc

Excerpts:

"The other most populous county, Washoe County, ended with 1050 delegates for Sanders and 833 for Clinton. It is unclear at this time exactly how many more delegates Bernie Sanders has picked up, as the final results will not be decided until the state convention in May."

“We caught the Hillary campaign cheating, we caught the Nevada Democratic Party secretary cheating,” said Angie Sullivan, another member of the credentials committee for the Clark County Democratic Convention. “When it was apparent Bernie started winning, they really turned up the heat.”

"“We were standing in solidarity with Christine, because we knew if we didn’t stand strong, it would affect the integrity of the credentials and the voting,” Glass said.

But despite the controversy, Sanders still pulled out a victory in Clark County. Watch the crowd erupt into cheers and applause when the final numbers are read aloud by a CCDP official (numbers are read at the 1:30 mark)"

"The Nevada caucus win means that aside from virtually tying Hillary Clinton in Iowa, Sanders has won all of the caucus states."

1. More voters turned out to choose Hillary.

This is a marginal difference in delegates due to the absurdity of the caucus process that doesn't reflect the will of the voters.

4. So Bernie managed to get more delegates despite getting less votes.

This is obviously undemocratic. It's a good thing that Hillary is so far ahead that these games that the Bernie people are playing aren't going to be able to overturn the will of the people.
