On April 21 three Seattle police officers arrested Dinea Evans while she was standing at the receptionist desk in Congressman Jim McDermott’s Seattle office.

Evans is a Democratic Party delegate from the 7th Congressional District, which is the area represented by McDermott.

She’s with a group in Washington State that has launched a campaign to convince “Super Delegates” who support Hillary Clinton to change their vote to Bernie Sanders. Senator Sanders won the state caucuses with 73% of the vote, getting a majority of delegates in every county, but Sanders supporters say Clinton has received a disproportionate percentage of “super delegates” in the state.

They hold the position that the nomination process is undemocratic because “super delegates” have failed to honor the results of the Washington Democratic Party caucuses.

Dinea Evans was wearing a t-shirt announcing that she’s a delegate for Bernie Sanders, but no one in the room was carrying political protest literature or signs at the time of the arrest.

1. Berntastic. Excellent strategy.

"but Sanders supporters say Clinton has received a disproportionate percentage of “super delegates” in the state. "

There is no such thing as described in that sentence. At all.

2. My hope is the super delegates take this opportunity to realize

the idiocy of the super delegate theory. They should all want to end this practice moving forward.

8. supers exist to make sure there is no contested convention

And that is a good thing...they vote with the Delegate winner.

9. If they vote with the delegate winner, the delegate winner would be the winner and

there would be no contested convention. They increase the likelihood of a contested convention, by moving 15% out of the voting process.

3. proud of this young woman for standing up,getting the hc people to show their true colors

WE THE PEOPLE have no access because we do not have millions of dollars to buy it

4. Hmm... The real thing, or not? When Camp Clinton employs people like David Brock one never knows.

Either way, why was an arrest made? What did she do to warrant an arrest?

6. Dinea Evans is a real Bernie volunteer/delegate

Still don't really know why they arrested her, but probably for not leaving when asked.

I worked alongside her for a few hours a day at the North Seattle Sanders office most days in the three weeks leading up to the WA state caucuses. Very committed. Very intense. Amazing phone bank presence. SMART. Far more intense than the average WA resident.

I can see how her intensity and extroverted nature would scare fear-motivated people who didn't know her well into calling the pigs on her.

5. So Camp Sanders has upped its game from social media harassment

to in-person intimidation. How lovely...

7. Proud of her too for standing up against those who take away the power of the voter!
