Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumPlease read about the Nevada caucuses and what is going on.
It's a quick read - it's late, not going to sit here and copy and paste.
Bernie supporters have no probs clicking links
Lots of finger pointing going on already. Let's just hope Bernie wins big so there are no questions.
His team is definitely ready....

Clinton supporters were chattering Friday about rumored Republican efforts to take advantage of a loophole in the system to register and caucus with the Democrats for Bernie. The state party and the Nevada Secretary of state warned that Republicans attempting to pretend theyre Democrats to caucus could disqualify them from caucusing with the GOP next week.
Meanwhile, the Sanders campaign, burned by an Iowa caucus process they still say wasnt fair, has built a robust election protection program for Bernie volunteers to fall back on if things go sideways. The system was built, based in part, on lessons learned in Iowa: It includes a handful of attorneys on hand and a hotline for Sanders precinct captains the trained Sanders partisans on hand to wrangle the rest of his supporters during the raucous caucus process. The team includes experts on the Nevada system, ready to pounce and contest things they think are not going well.
Caucus are always hotbeds of partisan conspiracy, but after Iowa, things are even more torqued up than usual. Part of it is Nevada and the craziness of last time. In 2008, Clinton won the popular vote, but President Obama won the most delegates. That led to headlines declaring two Democratic winners something that still stings here, and has led many to expect a less-than-smooth Saturday once caucusing gets rolling.

(57,936 posts)We need a head count, a real vote and not just delegate numbers. The results in Iowa are not at all clear to me. That is I don't think they are a good basis for predicting who would win in Iowa in November. Are Democrats really split evenly between Hillary and Bernie?
Or was that apparent and announced outcome just the result of a skewed tabulating system for the Iowa caucuses?
I hope that kind of question will not be asked about the Nevada caucuses.
We do need election protection for Bernie in Nevada.
