Another inconvenient fact for the conspiracy theories.

The credentials committee in Nevada which ruled that some of the delegates were not eligible consisted of 5 Hillary and 5 Bernie supporters each.

Evidently none of the pro-Bernie youtube commentators ever bother to mention this fact, but it's a good one to keep in mind.

Only conjecture, baseless rhetoric, logical fallacies, hearsay, and tinfoil. Lots and lots of tinfoil.

It looks like what happened was that each delegate was examined by the credentials committee one at a time as they showed up. I guess it's possible that there were some delegates where the committee was split 50-50 and someone had to break the tie, but there are no reports of that happening.

What seems to have occurred is that the process of checking credentials went along just fine without incident or controversy until the Bernie people realized that they had less delegates because so many of them didn't show up, and that's when they started trying to overturn the results by undemocratic means.
